PSG, Chinese clubs after Chelsea star Willian

Chelsea winger Willian is reportedly attracting interest from the Blues' Champions League opponents on Wednesday night, Paris Saint-Germain.

The Daily Mirror is reporting PSG became interested in signing the 27-year-old Brazilian after sending scouts to watch the Blues as part of their preparation for their Round of 16 tie.

PSG manager Laurent Blanc is believed to have identified Willian as a potential replacement for Ezequiel Lavezzi who left for Chinese club Hebei China Fortune last month.

It is understood a host of cashed-up Chinese Super League clubs are also hoping to lure Willian away from Stamford Bridge, where he has been a standout performer for Chelsea this season.
