Tottenham Hotspur were close to signing the Brazillian midfielder but Jose Mourinho confirmed on Friday that Willian had changed his mind and chosen Stamford Bridge as his destination instead.
Jose Mourinho said at his press conference on Friday when asked about the Willian deal:
“I don’t like to speak before time, because football can betray you. This is a problem when we speak a lot about transfers and names, because sometimes it looks a player is and he isn’t, but I know what the player wants so at this moment we cannot hide that it is a possibility.”
A Chelsea statement read on Sunday:
“Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with both Willian and his club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of the Brazilian player.
“The transfer is subject to a work permit hearing on Wednesday.”
