Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose has said on Don E Music’s Instagram channel that Willian is one of the best players he has ever played against.
Willian has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs ahead of the summer transfer window, with Richard Keys even claiming on beIN Sports that the Brazilian has already agreed a deal to move.
Although those claims have now been denied, Willian is still thought to be high up on Tottenham’s wishlist.
And Rose would surely feel that Willian would be a good addition to Tottenham’s team, as he admits that the Chelsea winger has given him big problems in the past.
“Raz Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Willian and Wilf [Zaha],” Rose said, when asked the best players he has played against.
“They’re the top four that have given me the most problems.”
If Willian was to move to Spurs he would be available on a free transfer, which surely makes his addition even more appealing.
The Chelsea winger looks set to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer, with his contract running down.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has already worked with Willian, and enjoys a good relationship with the wide-man.
If Willian does move to Tottenham he would be in competition with the likes of Erik Lamela, Giovani Lo Celso, Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura for a first-team place.
