Willian wanted by Al Shabab despite signing a new contract just WEEKS ago

Fulham winger Willian is wanted by Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab, who are prepared to pay him £200,000 a week after tax.

Marco Silva's side, who are chasing Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi and Demarai Gray of Everton, are yet to receive a bid, however.

Willian signed a new one-year contract only two weeks ago.

The 34-year-old, formerly of Chelsea and Arsenal, scored five goals and registered six assists in 27 Premier League appearances for the Cottagers last season.

After his initial deal ran down, Willian is said to have held talks with Nottingham Forest over a potential move and even visited their training ground.

Ultimately, though, he snubbed their interest to re-sign with Fulham.

'I'm completely happy,' he said after penning his fresh terms.

'Happy to sign one more year with Fulham. Happy to continue the work that I did last season with all my teammates and the whole club. I think it's a club that can do even better this season, so I'm happy to continue this amazing adventure.'

It is likely a fee will need to be paid should Al Shabab formalise their interest.

The club are not one of the four sides - Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, Al Ahli and Al Hilal - who were taken over by the state's Public Investment Fund in June.
