<strong>Brazilian midfielder and Chelsea's latest recruit Willian has revealed that the Londoners have been following him for sometime before finally making a move late in the summer.</strong>
The 25 year old highly rated playmaker moved from Anzhi to Chelsea in a big money deal after the Russian outfit decided to sell off their top earning stars. The South American has confirmed that there was some interest from the Blues a couple of months back but Anzhi turned their advances down.<br />
However, despite being reported to be close to securing a move to White Hart Lane the midfielder finally ended up at Stamford Bridge.<br />
"They made an offer two months ago but I was not allowed to leave," he told Brazilian television station Sportv.<br />
"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.<br />
"I will work with Mourinho who is the best manager and I will grow a lot with him."
