The Blues were able to successfully hijack Tottenham Hotspur's deal for Brazilian attacking midfielder Willian even after he had taken a medical at the club leaving Spurs furious over the deal.
It is believed that the fee for the former Inter Milan and Barcelona star is to be around 2 million pounds which isn't very much at all but it is actually his wages that are the main problem during his time in Russia with the 32 year-old being the highest paid player in the world.
Tottenham in the meanwhile could have a delay for the impending transfer of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid until they find another attacking player to sign besides Roma's wonder kid Erik Lamela with Brazil star Hulk a possible target.
