Chelsea have agreement in place for Shakhtar Donetsk star Willian
Chelsea are leading the race for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Willian.
The London Evening Standard says Chelsea looked into the possibility of signing the attacking midfielder last month, only for the £29million fee to put them off. But it appears an agreement has been put in place for the Brazil international to move to Stamford Bridge before next season.
Willian, who helped the Ukrainians win the Double last season and the UEFA Cup in 2009, has already said he wants to move to Chelsea and manager Andre Villas-Boas admitted he was one of the club's targets last month, saying he was "an interesting player". Chelsea had an offer of £16.7m rejected during the January transfer window but it was believed Shakhtar would be willing to sell him if they received an offer in the region of £20m-25m.

Yawn how many more of our targets do they want to sign ? They seriously think uefa will continue letting them make huge losses every year. I have to say I laud newcastle for the way they have played this season and think city can learn from them and not spend so much cash. I mean they are in a similar position to city 2 years back having spent almost nothing-Most of the players were either free or came from carroll and nolan's sales compared to 300 million for city.
