Brazilian star Willian last night claimed he always wanted to go to Chelsea - because they are a “better club” than Tottenham.

Willian joined the Blues in a big money move from Anzhi Makhachkala after a last minute change of heart as he had already had a medical at Spurs.

But Willian, in an interview with Brazilian paper Globoesporte, said: “I always wanted to go to Chelsea. Chelsea presented an offer and it was always my dream to go there.

“Chelsea is a better club than Tottenham in every aspect. I have spoken with my fellow Brazilians at the club, especially David Luiz. I am also happy to play for Jose Mourinho. That was definitive in my decision.”
