Fulham are in talks to re-sign Willian as a free agent after he cancelled his contract with Olympiakos.

The 36-year-old is in London as the two sides look to agree a deal which would fulfil boss Marco Silva's request to sign a winger in the winter transfer window.

Willian was in attendance at Chelsea's match at home to West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Monday night as talks between Fulham and the Brazil international's team continue.

The deal does not need to be rushed before the deadline at 23:00 GMT as Willian is a free agent - and a formal announcement is expected on Tuesday.

The Whites are confident they have completed the deal while sources close to the player have described a full agreement as close.

The midfielder made 67 appearances for the Cottagers in his previous spell, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists.
