League chasing club Tottenham as the north London team is in
advanced talks to sign the player.
The 25-year-old is currently under contract at Anzhi Makhachkala,
but the Russian club is intent on selling its prized assets due to
reported financial problems.
Willian is also known to be a Liverpool transfer target – however,
Spurs’ initial bid, understood to be £30m, is better than what the
Merseyside side is willing to offer.
There are reports that Willian is scheduled to undergo a medical at Spurs.
The player, who has two Brazil caps, is said to want a move to the Premier
League and will reportedly make a final decision over which club he joins
on Tuesday.
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is under pressure to keep hold of
Gareth Bale while Real Madrid retain interest in signing the Welsh star for
what would be a world-record deal over £80m.
Spurs have already signed another Brazil midfielder this summer, with
Paulinho joining from Corinthians for a fee estimated just under £17m.
The club also smashed their own record signing outlay by purchasing
Roberto Soldado from Valencia for £26m.
