Willian convinced Arsenal just season away from winning Prem title

Arsenal ace Willian is convinced they can win the Premier League title under manager Mikel Arteta. The Brazilian joined the Gunners in a free transfer move from Chelsea in the summer, and the 32-year-old has so far made nine appearances for his new club. Willian thinks that while this season might have come too soon for this group of players, it could be a different story in 2022. "Arsenal have a great coach and a great chance to fight for titles," he said. "We can win the league. Maybe not this time but next time. I'm motivated to have more success." Much of Willian's confidence is down to the impact of Arteta. "It's because of his ideas. The way he sees football is different. The structure, the way he talks, his advice. It's unique. He will be one of the best I think," he added. "He just wants me to be the same player I was at Chelsea. Take the ball and go one on one. Dribble, take shots. But with his ideas and instructions I can get better."
