Willian's Dad in London to discuss Chelsea move

Chelsea are reviving their bid for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Willian. Chelsea made an attempt for the 23 year-old Brazilian in January, but were frightened off by Shakhtar's asking price. Sky Italia says Blues owner Roman Abramovich offered €20 million, but the bid was thrown out by Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu.
