Shakhtar star Willian: I'd love to join Tottenham - or Chelsea

Shakhtar Donetsk star Willian admits he'd love to join Tottenham or Chelsea. Willian has admitted he would love to join Chelsea or Tottenham ahead of Tuesday's clash with the European champions.

"There were two offers in the summer," he told Lancenet.

"One from Chelsea and one from Tottenham. Choosing between the two clubs would be difficult. I don't know."

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas was in charge at Chelsea when they saw a £16.7million bid for Willian knocked back in January.

Willian said: "I mean, Tottenham is a big club and it has a good person in charge. Andre Villas-Boas wanted to bring me to Chelsea and also tried at Tottenham.

"He always sends me messages. We are always in touch, and he has become a friend, for sure. And Chelsea is Chelsea. They are a great team, with amazing players and are the champions of Europe."

He added: "I would love to play for either of those clubs. But my mind remains at Shakhtar, and I'll do my best to get the win against Chelsea."
