Willian Wants To Experience MLS After Arsenal Spell
Willian says he wants to experience America’s Major League Soccer when his career at Arsenal comes to an end.
The 32-year-old Brazilian is still in the first of a three-year contract he signed at the Emirates Stadium after leaving Chelsea last summer.
Willian is still adjusting to life in his new surroundings, having made 32 appearances across all competitions but is yet to find the back of the net for the Gunners.
The former Shakhtar Donetsk man’s primary objective is to win trophies with Arsenal but is determined to try his luck on the other side of the globe in the not too distant future.
“Well, my plan is to stay at Arsenal, I have a contract here, and to win trophies,” Willian told Arsenal's official matchday programme.
“I have two more years here and my plan is to stay and be successful, to play and win something with the club.
“I still want to achieve a lot of things. I want to win more trophies, and I want to be at the next World Cup.
“I will do my best to be there. But, yeah, I want to lift trophies for Arsenal - I have a lot of things in my mind that I want to achieve. I want to win as much as I can with the team, and go back to the national team as well.”
“Whenever I have finished here, I really want to go to America and play there,” Willian added. “Possibly stay in Europe, I don’t know, but at the moment, one of my targets is to play in America at some point in my career.
“I want to become an agent. I am preparing myself for that profession, I’ve already started work on that.
“I want to go into that because I love football and I want to stay in the sport, I want to do a job in that area, but I don’t want to become a manager or a coach. I want to be slightly more outside, but still involved in football.”
