New Chelsea signing Willian has revealed how delighted he is to have signed for the Premier League outfit and he has hailed the club as one of the best in the world.
The former Anzhi midfielder was close to signing for Tottenham Hotspur after he passed a medical at the club, but after the news was made public, Chelsea then made a last minute attempt to sign the 25-year-old.
The Blues offered £5million more than Spurs and eventually won the race for his signature.
Speaking to the club’s official website after completing the move, Willian revealed his delight at moving to Stamford Bridge.
‘I’m very happy to be here, it’s been a dream of mine to come and play here.’
‘Chelsea are one of the best clubs in the world, and now I’m going to play for one of the best managers in the world, so I’m very happy and looking forward to it.’
Willian has signed a five-year deal at the club and will wear shirt number 22.
