Chelsea winger Willian talks up 'big friend' Jose Mourinho amid Tottenham links

Chelsea winger Willian has talked up a reunion with Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho but insisted no decision over his future has been made.

The Brazilian is out of contract at the end of the season and has been heavily linked with a move to north London, with both Spurs and rivals Arsenal reportedly interested.

Mourinho signed Willian, under the noses of Tottenham, seven years ago and the pair remain in contact.

But the winger insists he remains in the dark over where he will be playing next season.

"Nothing arrived from Mourinho but we do have a good relationship, he’s a big friend of mine," he told Bolivia Talk Show.

"We speak to each other sometimes but when it comes to that (speaking about transfers) he respects me a lot. I like London and my family likes it too but that’s a question I don’t know how to answer.

"I don’t know which club I’m going to or if I’m staying here at Chelsea or if I’m leaving to another London club or if I’m leaving England, that’s something I don’t know."
