Willian said he was ready to sign for Tottenham in 2013, but only Chelsea could make him change his mind

Willian spoke to Chelsea's official website about joining Chelsea in 2013.


Willian said he was waiting for Tottenham to make a decision, having spent two weeks in London as Spurs and Real Madrid were talking about Bale. At the same time Liverpool were also interested in him and Chelsea showed interest, but not so firm at first. Chelsea contacted Willian on the day he was about to sign with Tottenham. When the call came, Willian was at the Tottenham training ground preparing for a transfer. His agent told him that Chelsea wanted him and Willian said he wanted to go there.


Willian said: "Then I left the Tottenham training ground and went back to the hotel because I had agreed to join Tottenham, it was a difficult situation, but only Chelsea could change my mind. Once Anzhi and Chelsea reached an agreement, I just want to go there, it's the best decision of my career." Fighting for the Champions League, even with a manager change. They are always fighting for something and nothing stops them.


"It's hard to win the Premier League because City have made it harder, a lot of teams have improved this season, so it's going to be harder for everyone."
