FORMER Arsenal and Chelsea star Willian has left Corinthians after tearing up his contract.
And the Brazilian winger is now reportedly in talks with newly-promoted Fulham.
Willian rejoined boyhood club Corinthians last summer after leaving Arsenal just one year into a three-year deal.
But the 34-year-old did not score a single goal in nine league games for his new side.
And he failed to make an impact as Corinthians were dumped out of the Copa Libertadores 3-0 by rivals Flamengo on Wednesday.
Despite having a year left on his contract, Willian has now agreed to terminate his deal.

Willian is now jetting back to live in London with his family.
And Goal claims the playmaker could now be set for a third spell in the English capital with Fulham.
