Brazilian forward Willian has rejoined Fulham on a free transfer just six months after departing the Premier League club, Afrosport reports.
Willian, who left Fulham at the end of last season, has signed a short-term deal with the Cottagers until the end of the 2024-25 season.
“The club is delighted to confirm the return of Willian to Fulham on a deal until the end of the season, subject to international clearance,” a statement of the club website read.

The 36-year-old is back for his third spell with Fulham after leaving Olympiacos at the end of December.
“I’m really happy to be back here,” said Willian. “I think it’s a great opportunity again to play for this club, and I’m fully motivated to get on the pitch and do things well for this club.
“I’m completely happy, my family’s happy. We are happy to be back, and I think we can do good things until the end of the season, so I can’t wait to start with my teammates and do good things inside the pitch.”
The former Chelsea man scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 67 matches for the Cottagers in his previous spell at the club.
Willian will wear the number 22 shirt for Fulham, who are currently ninth in the Premier League with 36 points and will head to the DW Stadium to take on Wigan in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
