Football fans on Twitter have been trolling Arsenal winger Willian, who appears to have piled on the pounds during his holidays.
Willian was signed by Arsenal last summer following his release from Chelsea. The Brazilian fell abysmally short of expectations during his debut campaign at the Emirates.
Some Arsenal fans may have retained feint hopes that they would see an improvement from the veteran this time around, but there appears to be little chance of that.
As Arsenal took on Hibernian in their opening pre-season friendly, which they lost 2-1, fans spotted that Willian was carrying a bit of a belly.

The tightness of the shirts have probably done him no favours here, but still, he doesn’t appear to be in the physical condition expected of you as a professional, top-level footballer.
Mikel Arteta ought to get him on a strict eating plan so he can shed the newly-gained fat ahead of the start of the Premier League campaign.
