Arsenal have announced the signing of former Chelsea midfielder Willian.

Arsenal have signed Brazil midfielder Willian on a three-year deal after the 32-year-old's contract with Chelsea expired.

The midfielder says he's looking forward to the challenge.

"I'm very excited to become an Arsenal player - I can't wait to start training and playing with my team-mates," Willian told Arsenal Digital.

"I decided [to join] because Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world. They have a new project with Mikel Arteta.

"I think this club deserves to shine again and I want to be a part of this project - to be a part of the Arsenal family is amazing. I'm very happy to do that.

"I come to try to win trophies, because this club deserves to win again, and I think you have to do the best as possible to win every game. I always train hard and go on the pitch giving 100 per cent to help this team to win games and to win titles as well."
