Fulham attacker Willian insists no regrets leaving Arsenal

Fulham attacker Willian insists he has no regrets leaving Arsenal.

Willian cut short his stay with the Gunners to return to Brazil.

He recalled to the Telegraph: "People were saying to me 'you are crazy, you cannot give up this kind of money'.

"They were saying 'any other player in your position would never do that. They would sit on the contract and collect the money'. Stuff like that.

"But I don't think about money. I know money is important, for sure. But it's not the first thing in my life.

"For me, God first. Then my family, then football. Then the other things. But I wasn't happy so that's why I decided to leave."
