Willian to Arsenal confirmed? 'Leaked' PES 2021 footage shows Chelsea winger in Gunners kit
Willian's move to Arsenal may have been confirmed on Wednesday morning by 'leaked' footage from PES 2021.
The winger's future remains unclear after rejecting another contract extension from Chelsea, the Brazilian understood to be holding out for a three-year deal.
This leaves Arsenal in pole position to snap up Willian, who turns 32 next week, on a free transfer, and it appears the latest edition of Pro Evolution Soccer expects him to make the move across London.
Interestingly, Arsenal have partnered with Konami to promote this year's edition of PES, the biggest rival to the FIFA series.
A clip, exclusive to The Sun, which claims to promote an 'Arsenal Edition' of the new video game sees Willian in the Gunners' recently launched new adidas kit with "new signing" and then his name appearing across the screen.
Then a virtual image of the Emirates Stadium appears with the words "Welcome to the Emirates".

Willian's next destination appears set to be Arsenal. Willian's agent, Kia Joorabchian, is well connected at the club and is close to technical director Edu, while David Luiz and Cedric Soares are both clients.
On Tuesday, Arsenal tweeted a video similar to the football The Sun got hold of, but without Willian.
