“I’m completely happy. Happy to sign one more year with Fulham,” Willian told FFCtv.
““Happy to continue the work that I did last season with all my teammates 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.”
Willian enjoyed an impressive season in 2022/23 as the Cottagers finished in 10th place on their return to the top flight, scoring five goals and providing six assists in 27 Premier League appearances.
One of those strikes helped the Brazilian win February’s Budweiser Goal of the Month award.
Willian’s career in the Premier League started in 2013 with Chelsea, where he won two Premier League titles. He also spent one season at Arsenal in 2020/21.
In total, Willian has played 286 times in the competition, the most of any Brazilian, scoring 43 goals and providing as many assists.
Fulham are stepping up their preparations ahead of their first match of the season against Everton on Saturday 12 August.
They are competing in the Premier League’s Summer Series tournament, starting with a derby against west London rivals Brentford on 23 July in Philadelphia.
