BRAZILIAN ATTACKER Willian looks destined to join
 Champions League chasing club Tottenham as the north
 London team is in advanced talks to sign the player.
The 25-year-old is currently under contract at Anzhi
 Makhachkala, but the Russian club is intent on selling
 its prized assets due to reported financial problems.
Willian is also known to be a Liverpool transfer
 target – however, Spurs’ initial bid, understood to
 be £30m, is better than what the Merseyside side is
 willing to offer.
There are reports that Willian is scheduled to undergo
 a medical at Spurs.
The player, who has two Brazil caps, is said to want
 a move to the Premier League and will reportedly
 make a final decision over which club he joins on Tuesday.
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is under pressure to
 keep hold of Gareth Bale while Real Madrid retain
 interest in signing the Welsh star for what would be
 a world-record deal over £80m.
Spurs have already signed another Brazil midfielder this
 summer, with Paulinho joining from Corinthians for a fee
 estimated just under £17m.
The club also smashed their own record signing outlay
 by purchasing Roberto Soldado from Valencia for £26m.
