WILLIAN has reportedly agreed terms with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Shabab.
The Brazilian winger only signed a new contract with Fulham 11 days ago after a brief spell as a free agent.
Willian, 34, starred at Fulham last season after he signed an initial one-year contract with the club.
However, there were doubts that he might move on once his contract expired with Nottingham Forest interested in offering him deal.
Now it appears that he could be making a move away from the Premier League after agreeing a deal with Al-Shabab, according to Fabrizio Romano.

A second commented: "Why did he sign another year at Fulham to do this?!"
A third added: "Cba… only at Fulham could a player sign a contract and demand to leave 10 days later."
