Winger ready to sign one-year deal despite Forest offerCallum Hudson-Odoi wants to leave Chelsea
Willian has turned down an offer from Nottingham Forest and re-sign for Fulham, who are considering whether to make an improved bid for Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi. Fulham have been pushing to reach an agreement with Willian since his previous contract expired at the end of June but other teams have been trying to hijack the deal.
Forest were willing to give the Brazilian a two-year deal and there was also interest in the winger from clubs in Saudi Arabia. However, Fulham made a breakthrough in talks with Willian over the weekend and the deal is at an advanced stage. The 34-year-old, a key player for Marco Silva last season, is happy in London and is poised to end the speculation over his future by signing a one-year deal to stay.
