Chelsea rule out move for Shakhtars Willian

Chelsea rule out move for Shakhtar's Willian

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas yesterday denied that the Blues are considering a move for Shakhtar Donetsk striker Willian, insisting that he is happy with his current array of attacking options up front.

  • Chelsea to move for former Arsenal goalkeeper?
  • Arsenal handed huge boost ahead of Bournemouth clash

  • Last week, Chelsea were linked with a 20 million move for the Brazilian striker who joined the Ukrainian side from Corinthians in 2007. But it appears that the Blues have decided against making a move for the forward.



    "Willian is a very interesting player, but he is cup tied in the Champions League," Villas-Boas said. "I don't think we should go for players who cannot be involved in all the competitions.



    "We are not stressed regarding what we can do in this transfer window. If a good opportunity arises we could study it but, at the moment, we are very satisfied."
