Willian returned to English football in 2022 to play for Fulham. He was seen as a has been at the time, leaving Arsenal for Corinthians a year before, but on his return he became a very important player for The Cottagers in them establishing a team to survive in the top flight.
He made a move to Olympiacos in front of this season. News are that he has terminated his deal with the current Greek league leaders, with the reason he has had very little game time, strangely and surprisingly after two very good seasons at Fulham, prior to his move in the summer.
He has the ability to take on defenders and could be ideal for a short term deal, but looks more likely to move back to Brazil than starting a short term adventure in England, but his ability on the field would still see him as major treath for defenders in Premier League.
To watch him play is a joy as his skills and movement would give Leicester an edge we do not have at the moment, as well possibly losing Facundo Bounanotte, Willian is a wide alternative up front, that could give Leicester the flair needed to survive this season.

There is no indication he will join Leicester, but he is a player that would have been ideal for a short term deal out the season. To see him link up with Bilal El Khannouss and Jamie Vardy would be a type of football romance to dream about.
During his two seasons with Fulham, he played a total of 67 competitive games, scoring 10 goals, surely not losing everything in 6 months. At Olympiacos he has played 11 games, not scored, and strangely not being pivotal while in Greece.
Willian has been capped 70 times for Brazil, his latest appearance in the national team back in 2019. His best years in the game was with Chelsea, winning the Premier League in 2014-15 and 2016-17. He also had a season at Arsenal were he also fell out of favor and described it as the worsed period in his life as a player.
