Chelsea plan surprise bid for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose

Chelsea are eyeing Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose.

Marca says Willian Jose's future at Real Sociedad is in doubt with Chelsea and Valencia leading the pack of clubs chasing his signature.

While the striker is not looking for an exit, the fact that an offer could reach his 65 million euro buy-out clause could push Real to sell.

So far Newcastle and Fulham are the only clubs to have put offers on the table but they have both been rejected with the player preferring to stay in Spain.

With the transfer window closing in England on August 9th, the purchase of Willian Jose by Chelsea could impact on Eden Hazard's proposed sale to Real Madrid.
