Willian will decide by tomorrow whether to move to Tottenham Hotspur after they hijacked his proposed move to Liverpool last night.

Tottenham could break their transfer record for the third time this summer after offering about £27 million for the Brazil attacking player.

Liverpool have made a similar bid and Willian, who is expected to arrive in this country today, has asked for time to consider the offers. His arrival at White Hart Lane would take the club’s spending to nearly £90 million, money that they are expected to recoup from the sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. They broke their record to sign Paulinho for £17 million, then brought in Roberto Soldado for £26 million.

Tottenham have had a longstanding interest in Willian
