Former Chelsea and Arsenal winger Willian could reportedly make a stunning return to the Premier League this summer.
Willian quit the English top flight last summer after he cut short his spell with Arsenal following a torrid run of form with the Gunners.
The Brazillian went on to seal an emotional return with Corinthians, where he had intended to wind up his football career.

Reports now suggest the 34-year-old could make a return to the Premier League, barely a year after he left.
Brazil outlet El Globo claims that Willian is on the verge of accepting an offer from Fulham in a move that could see him have another stint in the EPL.
The development comes barely days after Corinthians were knocked out of the Copa Libatadores by Flamengo.
Willian is reportedly set to meet Fulham's board on Thursday, August 11, and is unlikely to feature in Corinthian's Saturday’s derby against Palmeiras.
