Former Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham man Willian offered to Everton

Willian, who has played for Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham in the past, has been ‘offered’ to Everton, according to The Telegraph. The Toffees are now weighing up a move for the winger. The 36-year-old left Craven Cottage last summer and has since been playing in Greece for Olympiacos. He will be considering his options in the game.

His former Fulham teammate Tom Cairney has hailed his ability: “I think football brain, out of this world. In my opinion, I don’t think he gets the recognition he deserves in the Premier League. I think he was one of the best players in the Premier League for four or five years, but because he played in the same team as Eden Hazard, who kind of took a lot of the limelight – and rightly so, he was the best player – but I thought Willian was special, very special.”

Willian is a vastly experienced player in the Premier League. He has made 778 appearances in his career to date and has scored 115 goals.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham’s league rivals eyeing deals

Everton have recently turned to David Moyes as their new manager after they sacked Sean Dyche. The former West Ham boss lost his first match back at Goodison Park 1-0 against Aston Villa.

He has said: "I said to them (the owners), ‘You know what? I think that we need to try and give the supporters something to shout about as well.’ And not only that, we do need to make additions if we can," said Moyes."But again, when you’ve been sitting at home walking the dog or going for coffees, then to know every single player who is available in this window, the good ones, you’re not always on top of it.

“So I’m relying a little bit on the recruitment team here, bringing me up to date. But if we can, we want to make additions. But we want to make additions which are going to be worthwhile."

He added: “It is absolutely a different Everton from when I left. But I hope that all the values, all the things which really matter, they’re still here. Evertonians are incredibly passionate. We’ve got a great stadium in Goodison as far as when it’s rocking, it’s really special. And they’ve probably got an older and wiser manager now in charge from when he came in, when I was a lot younger and fancy free."I used to have ginger hair when I first arrived, and it’s certainly grey now."
