Super Eagles legend Mikel Obi reacts to Willian’s return to play alongside Iwobi, Bassey at Fulham

Willian returned to Fulham, where he had previously played, during the January transfer window.

Having previously played for elite teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Fulham, the Brazilian player with 317 appearances in Premier League history brings in a load of experience.

With his return, he will be looking to help the Cottagers secure qualification to play in Europe next season.

Fulham announced the signing of the two-time Premier League winner on Thursday, and Mikel and 21,192 Instagram users liked the post.

During Chelsea's prosperous seasons in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League, the two shared the pitch.

Mikel, who spent three years playing with Willian at Chelsea, is certain that the winger will improve Fulham's offensive and provide leadership.

Willian's return to Fulham allows the squad to add a player with experience and a wealth of English football accolades to their offensive options.

The Brazilian will link up with Alex Iwobi, whom he played with during his first spell at the club.

He will be looking to return to the team when Fulham faces Wigan in the FA Cup fourth-round game this weekend.
