- Brazilian free agent Willian has undergone a medical at Nottingham Forest
- But he could return for a second season at Fulham after a rival offer was made
- The former Chelsea and Arsenal star stunned for the Cottagers last term
Willian underwent a medical at Nottingham Forest on Thursday night, as talks advance over a deal for the Brazilian, though Fulham have made a rival offer.
The 34-year-old has just had a good year with the Cottagers in West London, aiding their way to a top-half finish with five goals and six assists to his credit.
However, the winger rejected Fulham’s initial proposal to remain with the club for another season – and has undergone a medical in the Midlands as he weighs up his options.

He was also spotted at the training ground, as he considered the prospect of a move to the City Ground – which is thought to come with a better offer than that tabled by his former paymasters in SW6.
The Brazilian is expected to make a decision imminently, with Saudi Arabian clubs also looming with lucrative financial offers
-
The former Chelsea and Arsenal player is a two-time Premier League winner with the Blues, as well as winning the UEFA Cup in 2009 with Shakhtar Donetsk and the Europa League 10 years later with Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea.
Willian earned 70 Brazil caps between 2011 and 2019, scoring nine times, most recently during their run to winning the Copa America in the last year of the 2010
