Chelsea FC: Blues Target Willian of Shakhtar Donetsk

Chelsea have made a £20 million bid for Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian star Willian, according to the Daily Mail.

The Blues look to transform their attack with the 23-year-old the latest target after recent reports from the Metro (among others) claimed Chelsea were keen on Lille's Eden Hazard.

Willian, or Willian Borges da Silva to give his full name, can play on either wing or in behind the striker.

Arsenal were interested in the Brazilian as recently as last summer, according to The Sun, but Chelsea would be able to blow the Gunners out the water financially.

The former Corinthians star, who joined the Ukrainian champions in 2007 for a fee of £12.3 million, according to Transfermarkt, has scored 24 goals in 162 games for the Hirnyky.

Chelsea would like to add some extra flair to the side as Juan Mata has been burdened, to an extent, with the responsibility of creating the majority of Chelsea's chances.

Willian can add creativity in abundance as well as an injection of pace to totally transform Chelsea's attack since the days of Jose Mourinho.

It would appear that Andre Villas-Boas would like to eventually move Mata in to the middle, in behind Fernando Torres or another striker, with Daniel Sturridge operating from one wing and a new signing, potentially Willian or Hazard, completing a magical front four.
