Arsenal have signed Brazilian winger Willian from Chelsea on a three-year deal, the Premier League club said on Friday.
The 32-year-old joins Arsenal on a free transfer after failing to agree on a new long-term contract with Chelsea.
"I believe he's a player that can really make a difference for us," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said in a statement on the club's website.
"We have been monitoring him for the past few months, we had a clear intention to strengthen in the attacking midfielder and the winger positions (and) he is a player that gives us a lot of versatility."
