Chelsea
announced on Sunday that they have reached an agreement to sign
Brazilian attacking midfielder Willian from Russian side Anzhi
Makhachkala, subject to the granting of a work permit.
His arrival will further swell the
number of attacking midfielders at manager Jose Mourinho’s disposal,
with Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Oscar, Victor Moses, Kevin De Bruyne and
Schuerrle already competing for just three starting places.
The arrival of the Brazilian has turned
analysts’ focus on Moses as the most likely to be hit by the addition.
Soon after Chelsea announced the deal on Sunday, British media
highlighted Moses as the lowest in the pecking order of the supporting
strikers who could go on loan when the mid-season transfer window opens
in January. The predictions are coming despite Mourinho’s pre-season
remark on the Super Eagles attacker. The Chelsea boss had said during
the tour of the USA that Moses was doing very well with the team.
