Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is determined to close a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Willian. The Daily Mail says Abramovich is attempting to drive through a move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Willian before the transfer deadline.
Shakhtar claim they rejected a £16.5million bid, with chief executive Sergei Palkin confirming an offer but insisting: "He is not for sale."
Abramovich, however, remains in dialogue with his friend, the club's billionaire owner Rinat Akhmetov.
