Shakhtar's Willian wants Tottenham transfer

Shakhtar Donetsk ace Willian believed he has earned the right to make the move to Tottenham.

The Brazilian attacking midfielder was heavily linked with Andre Villas-Boas during his time at Chelsea and is again attracting the interest of the new Spurs boss.

After helping Shakhtar to three domestic titles and the 2009 UEFA Cup since arriving in 2007, Willian feels it is time to move on with a White Hart Lane move on the cards.

"I have the offer but it's complicated because of the board," said Willian.

"Everyone knows that I want to leave. I've been here for five years, I've won many titles, so I hope they respect my will.

"I don't regret having come here, but I regret what's been going on with this situation. Chelsea tried to sign me, now Tottenham, so I have to rethink."
