Chelsea winger Willian 'on his way to Tottenham' as Arsenal miss out on free transfer target

Chelsea winger Willian is "on his way to Tottenham", according to well-known pundit Richard Keys.

The Brazilian is out of contract at the end of the season and has been heavily linked with a move to north London, with both Spurs and rivals Arsenal reportedly interested.

It now appears Spurs have won the race following talks between Willian and Jose Mourinho.

"He's another one that has already spoken to Jose Mourinho, he's on his way to Tottenham," Keys said on BeIN Sports.

Mourinho signed Willian, under the noses of Tottenham, seven years ago and the pair remain in contact.

"Nothing arrived from Mourinho but we do have a good relationship, he’s a big friend of mine," Willian recently told Bolivia Talk Show.

"We speak to each other sometimes but when it comes to that (speaking about transfers) he respects me a lot."
