Attacking midfielder Willian is also reportedly close to a deal with the Spurs, and may soon leave Brazil for north London. Liverpool was reportedly hoping to sign the Brazil international, but "missed out." Tottenham offered 35 million euros to Anzhi for the transfer, and Willian is expected to make a decision Tuesday night.
