'If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them' - Arsenal's Nigerian Fans React To Signing Of Willian From Chelsea

Arsenal have pulled off a transfer coup by signing Brazil international Willian from Chelsea.

The official website of the Gunners has confirmed that the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League winner with Chelsea has inked a three-year contract and has been assigned the number 12 jersey for the 2020-21 campaign.

Arsenal are one of the most supported clubs in Nigeria and the capture of Willian got their fans here in Nigeria excited.

Some of the fans are of the opinion that the South American is the best winger in the whole of the Premier League, while another fan suggested that he should be tasked with playmaking duties in the upcoming season.

Here's what Arsenal's Nigerian fans are saying on Twitter :

@Jewd_ : "Willian is a good addition. Coutinho will be an even better addition."

@ybalogs : "Willian should be our number 10 now except we are able to get Coutinho to sign for us. Pepe remains on the wings. The only problem I see now is not having a stable 11 starter. Let's hope that will be sorted ASAP."
