Biography

Willian Borges da Silva (born 9 August 1988), known mononymously as Willian, is a Brazilian professional footballer. Primarily a winger throughout his career, he can also operate as an attacking midfielder or wide midfielder.

Willian began his career at Corinthians before joining Shakhtar Donetsk in August 2007 for a fee of €14 million. During his six years at the club, he won several honours, including four Ukrainian Premier League titles and the UEFA Cup in 2009. In 2013, he briefly signed with Anzhi Makhachkala before moving to Chelsea for £30 million, winning the Premier League and the League Cup in his second season in England. He signed for Arsenal in August 2020 before re-signing for boyhood club Corinthians the following year.

Willian made his debut for Brazil in 2011 and had since represented his country at the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups, as well as the 2015 Copa América, the Copa América Centenario, and the 2019 Copa América, a tournament Brazil won on home soil.
