Willian Gomes de Siqueira (born 1 March 1986), simply known as Willian, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Palmeiras.
Born in Três Fronteiras, São Paulo, Willian joined Guarani's youth setup in 2002. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 22 August 2004, coming on as a second half substitute for Sandro Hiroshi in a 1–1 home draw against Vasco da Gama.
Willian appeared rarely for the club during the season, as his side suffered relegation. He appeared more regularly in the following year, but was still sparingly used.
On 23 December 2005, Willian signed for Atlético-PR. He scored his first goal in the top tier for the club on 30 August 2006, netting the winner in a 2–1 home win against Santos.
Willian was rarely used in the following years, also suffering a knee injury in 2007. On 3 February 2009, he was loaned to Vila Nova until December.
While on loan, Willian scored eight goals during the year's Série B, being the club's top goalscorer as his side avoided relegation. Highlights included braces against Campinense (two times) and América-RN.
On 26 January 2010, after returning from loan, Willian rescinded his contract with Atlético.
