Report: Shakhtar open to Willian sale

Premier League target Willian could finally make a move to England in January, with Shakhtar Donetsk reportedly willing to sell their prize asset.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, who were rumoured to have had a bid rejected for his services in the summer.

However, the arrival of Brazilian compatriot Taison from Ukrainian rivals Metalist Kharkhiv has made selling Willian a more attractive proposition to Shakhtar.

According to The Independent, they will allow the attacking midfielder to leave for a fee of £20m.

Willian has previously admitted his openness to a switch to either of the London clubs.
