Spurs and Donetsk officials meet to discuss Willan

Spurs and Donetsk officials met last night to agree, in principle, a deal that gave the green light for Willian Borges Da Silva to become a Tottenham player.

The meeting took place in the Shakhtar Plaza and lasted approximately 2 and a half hours.  Both clubs are remaining tight lipped over the exact details, but a Donetsk source has told us that the agenda consisted of initial transfer fee, appearance and potential sell on fees.

Chelsea had been favourites to land the 24 year old midfielder but the departure of Di Matteo looks to have played into the hands of their London neighbours.

Initial indications are that the fee could be as high as £22m after add ons.

Villas-Boas sees Willan as an integral part of his desire to take Spurs back to Champions League qualification.
