Excitement in Camp Nou as former Chelsea star set to join Barcelona
FootballAfter spending only a season at Arsenal netting 1 goal, Willian decided to leave the Emirates stadium and joined Corinthians before the start of the ongoing season and has featured in 9 games.
Diego Costa left the Stamford Bridge club with an overall record of 58 Premier League goals in 120 appearances over three seasons at Stamford Bridge, where he won the title twice.
Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song revealed he moved to Barcelona from the Emirates club just for the money.
The Cameroonian was bought to the Gunners in 2006 from then-Ligue 1 outfit Bastia and made a total of 133 appearances for Arsenal scoring a total of just seven goals.
Song was never lucky with Gunners in terms of winning silverware as the midfielder could only manage a Runners up medal in the League Cup in his eight-year stay at the London club.
The Cameroonian would however seek for greener pastures abroad when he sealed a £15million move to Barcelona from the Emirates stadium in 2012.
