Willian | A statistically fantastic signing
Arsenals key issues when creating chances come in form of passing
As a midfield & a front line we are weak in 3 forms of passing which lead to chances:
Progressive passes (PP)
Passes into the final 1/3 (P3)
Key passes (KP)

Progressive passes are key in transition breaking defensive lines + linking MF & ATT
Arsenal sit 9th for PP 19/20 PL
Willian made a huge 189 PP (PL 19/20) more than next best winger Mahrez (147), Rashford (141)
Auba+Pepe made 170 comb. Willian made more than any Arsenal player

Passes into the final 1/3
Arsenal sit averagely 7th in the PL for P3
Willian though made 71 passes into the final 1/3 more than Firmino (70), Bernardo Silva (67), Mahrez, Alli
At Arsenal he would only be behind Dani, Xhaka, MG & Luiz - Willian as an AM would be interesting

Key Passes - Arsenalâs biggest weakness
Key passes are passes which directly lead to a shot
Arsenal sit 16th in the table for KP!!
Willian made 71 KPs in 19/20 PL - more than Bernardo, Firmino, Sterling, Mahrez.
Willian made 32 more KPs than Pepe (39) - Arsenals highest in KP

So to summarise
For progressive passes
Passes into final 1/3
Key passes
Willian tops the list from these
Bernardo Silva - 7.5m
Alli - 8.0m
Willian - 8.0m
Pépé - 8.0m
Mahrez - 8.5m
Rashford - 9.5m
Firmino - 9.5m
Sterling - 11.5m
Still think 8.0m is "overpriced"

Other notable players in the price bracket but to approach with caution
Greenwood - 7.5 (lacks creativity, wait on Sancho incoming)
Ziyech - 8.0 (Unproven in the prem, easy switch to him from Willian if he proves better value)
Pulisic - 8.5 (Goal threat, lacks creativity)

Big chances missed - Talisman
Abraham (26)
Aubameyang (10)
Arsenal lacked creativity but Aubameyang only missed 10 big chances, compared to Abraham's 26. With Willians creativity I can only see Aubameyangs big chances increasing quite significantly. Which makes both appealing.

Taking all the above into consideration and comparing the Mid's in that price bracket, I could see myself with Willian in my side. If he plays in the CAM role with Auba up top, the appeal is definitely there. 
All in all signing Willian on a free helps solve so many creative issues
His stats show he has ability to play wide and also as an AM helping add the creativity we have missed all season
Willian will add a lot to our attack - donât write him off just yet.
