Arsenal transfer news: Willian says he will not leave the club until he has done one thing
The Brazilian has been a disappointment at the Emirates Stadium so far
Willian has vowed to remain at Arsenal until he wins a trophy.
The Brazilian forward moved to the Emirates Stadium from Chelsea last summer, signing a three-year deal.
However, he has endured a disappointing debut campaign at the club and is still awaiting his first Premier League goal for the Gunners.
Willian has been linked with a move away from north London at the end of the campaign, with MLS teams said to be keeping tabs on the situation.
But the 32-year-old insists he wants to stay at Arsenal until he has got his hands on a piece of silverware.
“Well, my plan is to stay at Arsenal, I have a contract here, and to win trophies,” he told Arsenal's official site.
“I have two more years here and my plan is to stay and be successful, to play and win something with the club.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
