Willian set for Blues move as wily boss Mourinho gazumps Tottenham

Jose Mourinho expects Chelsea to sign Willian from under the noses of Tottenham.

Spurs appeared poised to announce a deal for the Anzhi Makhachkala forward after he completed a medical, but Chelsea have now hijacked the deal after making their long-standing interest known.

A deal was quickly agreed between the Blues and the Russian club and Willian has been keen to move to Stamford Bridge since first becoming aware of a potential switch to Chelsea two years’ ago.
