Brazilian starlet Willian has confessed that he chose Chelsea over Tottenham Hotspur due to the Blues being a ‘better club’. The Mirror reports.
Chelsea poached the 25-year-old from Tottenham, who had gone as far as having a medical with Spurs. The midfielder had only recently joined Russian giants Anzhi Makhachkala when the London clubs came calling.
In an interview with Brazilian tabloid Globoesporte, Willian said: “I always wanted to go to Chelsea. Chelsea presented an offer and it was always my dream to go there
“Chelsea is a better club than Tottenham in every aspect. I have spoken with my fellow Brazilians at the club, especially David Luiz. I am also happy to play for Jose Mourinho. That was definitive in my decision.”
The 25-year-old started his career with Brazilian club Corinthians from where he transferred to Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk where his talents gained worldwide attention. He has been capped twice for Brazil.
