Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Willian is hopeful of landing a move to Chelsea. Shakhtar manager Mircea Lucescu says a €33million bid (£26m) has been turned down for him.

"I don't know what the coach said, but the correct value was €25million," he told Globo Esporte.

"But regardless of the value, of course I really wanted to play for a club like Chelsea, a club that won the Champions League.

"I'm really annoyed that the board didn't let me go. It would have been good for me and for the club too.

"I'd play in a big league and would be able to grow as a player. This is not a message to anyone, everyone knows I want to leave."
