I'll take it with a pinch of salt given it says other interested clubs are "Liverpool, Villa and Reading among others, as well as Newcastle United". :lol:

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Willian showed why he is a precious talent proving to be a thorn for Chelsea in the Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
Willian has made no secret of the fact that he wants to play in the Premier League and will have alerted Manchester United and Arsenal about his worth with a masterful display against Chelsea.
Shakhtar had looked the better team for long periods with midfielder Willian, who is not currently in the Brazil squad, running the match with an inspired performance that has made him a target for several Premier League clubs - including Chelsea.
He scored both of Shakhtar's goals and left Chelsea's players trailing in his wake, trying to take the ball off him as he ran the game.
However, Victor Moses' goal enabled Chelsea to draw level with Shakhtar on seven points in Group E, giving them a one-point advantage over third-placed Juventus ahead of what looks set to be a decisive showdown in Turin on November 20.
The 24-year-old Brazilian playmaker is one of the hottest properties in football and has been linked with moves to both Chelsea and Tottenham in recent months.
"I would like to move from Shakhtar, my work here is complete," he said after Shakhtar defeated Chelsea last month. He was holding a Chelsea shirt as he said it.
The Ukrainian club twice turned down bids from the Blues for Willian Borges da Silva much to the player's disappointment.
"Regardless of the price, it is clear that the desire is great to play at a club like Chelsea, the champions of the Champions League," he told Globo Esporte.
"I'm really upset with the board for not letting me leave. It would be good for me and also for the club."
Shakhtar chief executive Sergei Palkin revealed in January that the side then coached by Andre Villas-Boas had seen a £16.5m offer refused.
Willian has won four league titles, three domestic cups and a Uefa Cup since his arrival as a hugely promising Brazil youth international but wants to realise his dream of playing for Brazil in the 2014 World Cup.
"My dream is to play with the Selecao at the World Cup in Brazil and I will have more chances to realise the dream if I play for a big team," he said.
He added: "I would like to play in a big team in a big tournament, like the Premier League or Serie A," the player said.
"I like Chelsea, Milan and Inter," said Willian revealing his prefences.
However, his Shahktar team mate Eduardo favours him moving to England.
Eduardo, who spent three years with Arsenal, believes Spurs are not good enough for Willian.
"There are three clubs who are big enough and good enough for Willian - Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea," he said.
"I have recommended these clubs - no others. He needs to play at one of the best teams.
"Willian is a complete player now. He is ready to play for a big club and become a really big player.
"He should play at a top, top club because he is a class player. He can play in England, for sure.
"We always talk and watch Premier League games together.
"He asks me about England and the English game and I tell him little things."
Eduardo :bow:
