Fulham midfielder and captain Tom Cairney has claimed that former Chelsea man Willian is the best he’s ever played with. Cairney also opined that the Brazilian winger was underrated during his time in the Premier League and didn’t get into the limelight because he shared the locker room with Eden Hazard.
Currently without a club, Willian joined Chelsea from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013. He formed a formidable combination with Hazard upfront but the Belgian maestro was widely regarded as the Blues’ best player at the time.
A year after Eden Hazard left Chelsea in 2019, Willian joined Arsenal on a bossman transfer. However, the Brazil international couldn’t find his groove at the Emirates and left for his boyhood club Corinthians before joining Fulham in 2022. He spent two years with the Cottagers before moving to Olympiacos where he last played.
