Report: Tottenham Hotspur also in Willian talks

Tottenham are reportedly in talks with representatives of Anzhi's £30m-rated Brazilian international Willian, who has already been the subject of an approach from Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur have apparently joined Liverpool in opening up talks with Willian's representatives over his potential transfer from Anzhi Makhachkala.

The big-spending Russian club are preparing to sell many of their foreign stars, having indicated their plans to invest in home-grown talent in the future.

Spurs had two bids rejected by Shakhtar Donetsk for Willian's services before he moved to Anzhi, and he is now a target of the Lillywhites again, as well as several of their Premier League rivals.

Reports emerged on Friday that Liverpool were in negotiations with the 24-year-old's camp, and according to Sky Sports News Tottenham have also made contact with the playmaker's agent ahead of a possible offer.

It is understood that Anzhi will be looking to recoup much of the £30m that they paid for the Brazilian international when they purchased him last summer.
