News Britannia: Willian wants to reunite with mentor at Man Utd
Chelsea acquired the 27-year-old for £ 30 million back in 2013 and the Blues are reportedly asking for double than that to allow the player’s departure from Stamford Bridge, but with Juan Cuadrado heading back to South-West London after the end of his loan spell at Juventus, William’s Stamford Bridge exit could be in the cards.
In the meantime, Teamtalk reports that Liverpool have joined Manchester clubs in race to sign West Ham starlet Reece Oxford. The 17-year-old defender has rejected an offer from the Hammers to extend his contract and, according to reports, he’s available for £ 10 million
