Fulham winger Willian admits that he picked Chelsea over Liverpool 10 years ago.

The attacker was a target for the Reds in the summer transfer window of 2013, when he was still at Anzhi Makhachkala.

Willian was set for a move to Tottenham that summer, even ready to undergo a medical, but was signed by Chelsea at the last moment.

The attacker told Premier League Brasil: "I went to London and Liverpool and Tottenham were interested. I was negotiating with both, not Chelsea. And in my heart the dream was to go to Chelsea.

"Proposals came from both of them and, as I wanted to stay in London, I decided that I'd go to Tottenham. Chelsea made an offer and I didn't think twice.

It was something I really wanted, with all due respect to Tottenham, who are also a great club, but my dream was to play for Chelsea."
