Willian is said to be ‘inundated’ with offers due to the fact his contract expires this summer and is mulling over a three-year deal from Arsenal.

With the 19/20 season still to be concluded and no solution yet clear enough to give us any idea of when that might happen, players who are out of contract at the end of June are something of a headache to both clubs and the Premier League.

They are said to be coming up with a number of solutions to try and navigate this problem, one of them being a small transfer window in the last week of June that would allow clubs to move for free agents.

Arsenal are said to be looking at free transfers and swap deals this summer as their main way of improving the squad.
