Tottenham is one of several teams who have been linked with a move for soon to be free agent, Willian.
The Brazilian is nearing the end of his current stay at Chelsea after the Blues turned down the chance to offer him a three-year deal to remain with them.
Chelsea had offered him a two-year deal but he rejected it and told the West London side that he wanted a three-year deal instead.
The Blues’ refusal to accept his demands has opened the door for him to move to another team.
Tottenham and Arsenal have been named as frontrunners to land the Brazilian, but the Mirror is claiming that Spurs’ move for him might be scuppered because of the financial crisis brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
The report claims that Willian has been offered to Real Madrid who rejected signing him and he is now within the grasp of Arsenal and Spurs.
But both English sides would struggle to get his free transfer done because of limited funds that would be made available to them.
It seems a high wage, probably in excess of £100k per week and agent fees are making the forward a luxury that is not worth the ongoing cost, especially when there are opportunities to land younger free agents that would most likely command a lower salary. Ryan Fraser for example.
Willian remains one of the Premier League’s most reliable players. Despite being 31 already, he still played 28 league games for Frank Lampard’s side this season.
No loyalty in a pound note
So if its just a job and arsenal offer kane more money then he should just go there? Its more than a job and money mate. Loyalty means alot in the game.. Its why many people loved poch he was loyal to us man.. Loyalty is why I like you brother…. If we do sign him then obviously if he does well then everyone soon forgets the past. Bangs some goals in, win some games then everyone loves him. If hes rubbish though then he would be in for a rough time.
Its just a job. If I went for a welding job at Tottenham (not as a fan) then Chelsea offered me a b£tt£r welding job there while I’m being interviewed at Tottenham I wouldn’t care about the Tottenham welding job offer I’m off to weld at Chelsea, Simple. Its a job mate. Willian like I’d woulda done took the job that best suited him. Simple. I hold no grudge against him for that.
Hes a match winner. Better than frazer. Would be good competition for and to rotate with lucas… He would improve us… But the medical snub was shocking, he might as well gave us two fingers as he ran off to the chavs.. I would get him in for stressful long negotiations with levy, then let him do his medical, then say no you failed your medical mate giving him the finger as he walks his jackson 5 microphone head out of the building 😆
I can totally understand why Jose would want him. He wouldn’t let him down out there. Very affective player. Would I take him? (I don’t care about what happened with him and us in the past) I think I’d need him so yes. I’d be forced to. Unless I had money to spend🌚. He’d get us moving the ball forward. Today’s climate i’d take him. It would benefit the training ground having someone Jose has worked with before. (Senior winner) I understand why José wants him.
Don’t want him, don’t care.
Typical Levy, we can’t even afford free players now. LOL
