Shakhtar Donetsk ace could be heading to Premier League

Sky Sports understands Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a shock summer swoop for Shakhtar Donetsk ace Willian. Andre Villas-Boas is keen to add more attacking talent to his ranks, with Croatia playmaker Luka Modric expected to depart for Real Madrid. And the White Hart Lane boss has identified Willian, who can operate out wide or in a more central advanced midfield role, as a potential target. The Brazilian joined Shakhtar in 2007 from Corinthians in his homeland and has become a key figure for the Ukraine giants. The 24-year-old has helped his current employers to a trio of title triumphs, two Ukraine Cup and Super Cup successes and the 2009 UEFA Cup.
