Former Anzhi winger Willian is excited to be playing for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Willian looked set to be joining Tottenham, only for Mourinho to swoop to secure his services, although he revealed he had been aware of the Blues’ pursuit for a while.
“They made an offer two months ago but I was not allowed to leave,” he told Sportv.
“I kept following the club and I used to go to London to follow Chelsea whenever I had free time and now my dream has come true.
“I will work with Mourinho who is the best manager and I will grow a lot with him.”
Willian will face stiff competition for a place in the team with the likes of Eden Hazard, Oscar, Juan Mata, Ramires, Andre Schurrle and Kevin De Bruyne amongst the names vying for a spot, something which he acknowledged.
“They are quality players and nobody can take their place for granted. So I have to work hard to get a place in the first team,” he said.
“Other clubs were interested, but my intention and dream of playing for Chelsea made the difference.
“The opportunity to play with Mourinho, the best manager in the world, also made a lot of difference. I always dreamed of wearing Chelsea’s jersey.”

Jose backs Ashley Cole to make it to the England’s squad for the World Cup
Jose Mourinho has claimed Ashley Cole WILL go to the World Cup - even if he cannot win back his place at Chelsea.
The Blues' boss made it clear he will stick with Cesar Azpilicueta at left back rather than bringing back the 100 cap England Veteran Cole. The Special one said "I cannot think about national teams at the same time I am thinking about my team"." There are national team managers who are very clear: they go with their players. It doesn't matter if the player is playing for the club, they go with their players". "Others are influenced by whether the player is playing or not. There are different theories. There are people who like players who didn't play particularly well in the season. Why? Because they are fresher, stronger, have more energy, don't have the mental fatigue of competition, and are more ready [for a summer tournament].
When asked about quick return for Cole, Jose said "I'm very happy right now with the way Azpilicueta is performing".
What do you think could happen to Cole at the end of the season? Contract or will this be his last season at Chelsea?

Willian will be Chelsea’s best buy this season
great addition to chelsea squard
I never been a fan of Willian, pretty much disliked him for quite some time, but now that he’s a Chelsea player, he has my support.
