Willian’s emotional Fulham transfer return spoiled by ‘cracking’ wardrobe malfunction in dressing room


WILLIAN’S emotional Fulham return was spoiled by a “cracking” wardrobe malfunction.

SunSport revealed the Brazilian winger did not report for pre-season duty after initially failing to agree a new deal.

But now the former Chelsea and Arsenal star has put pen to paper on a fresh contract.

The 34-year-old signed a one-year extension at Craven Cottage for the 2023-24 season after speculation linking him with Nottingham Forest.

But an unidentified player inadvertently ruined Andreas Pereira’s video welcoming Willian back into the Fulham dressing room.

The clip, posted on the midfielder’s Instagram page, showed a beaming Willian greeted by Harrison Reed.

However, in the background, one oblivious team-mate clearly did not realise any filming was taking place.

As a result, he failed to pull up his boxers while getting changed – and instead revealed the top of his backside in a hilarious blooper.

Unsurprisingly, fans piled in on social media with witty responses.

One said: “Cracking start to the day.”

Another wrote: “Big question is whose crack is that on the right?!”

A third added: “What crack-ing photo.”

And a final user joked the mystery football in question was Crack Grealish.

Fulham face Brentford, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Hoffenheim in pre-season before beginning their 2023-24 Premier League campaign at Everton on August 12.

The Cottagers will be hopeful of matching their impressive tenth-placed finish from last term, especially having re-signed Willian.

The forward managed five goals and six assists in 27 games in his debut season for Fulham.

On rejoining for another year, he said: “I’m completely happy.

“Happy to continue the work I did last season with all my team-mates and the whole club.

“I think it’s a club that can do even better this season, so I’m happy to continue this amazing adventure.”

Fulham brought in Chris Donnell to join the development squad and continue to be linked with more summer transfer targets, including Fred, Timothy Castagne and Brazil midfielder Andre.

However, they face a battle to keep hold of West Ham-target Paulinha and Alexandar Mitrovic, with the star striker reportedly telling the club he wants to move to Saudi Arabia.
