​Willian reveals plan with Arsenal boss Arteta to win Champions League

Arsenal signing Willian is not toning down his ambitions upon arriving at the club.

The Brazilian has signed a three year deal to play for Mikel Arteta and stay in London.

The veteran winger wants to not only get the Gunners into the Champions League a year from now, but wants to win the competition during his three year stay!

Willian told The Sun: "One of the reasons I wanted a three-year deal was to be part of a plan, not just a player passing through.

"When I talked with the manager he told me why he needed me for three years.

"It was that he first wanted to qualify for the Champions League and win it by the time I left. That was what I wanted to hear.

"I was at Chelsea for seven years and won everything except the Champions League.

"Hopefully this move will give me the trophy I haven't got as well as another Premier League title."
