Tottenham could sign Chelsea star Willian this summer - and the winger will be open to heading across London, former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson claims. The Brazilian is out of

contract at the end of the season, meaning he can leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer.

Willian, who has been linked with Tottenham and Arsenal, has talked up a reunion with his former boss Jose Mourinho.

The 31-year-old admitted he'd have no problem heading across London to reunite with Mourinho at Spurs.

And Robinson claims Willian would be welcomed instantly at Tottenham, despite his ties to Chelsea.

“Willian will not come cheap wages wise,” Robinson told Football Insider.

“A player that has a great relationship with Mourinho. If the player wants to stay in London and Tottenham was an option for him, you would imagine that would be his first choice.

“Loyalties towards Chelsea would have to be put to one side.

“I do not think it would take long for him to win over the Spurs fans.

“A lot of Spurs fans would take him with open arms because he is a top-class player.”

Willian has insisted he's happy to leave Chelsea to join a rival club this summer in a boost to Mourinho and Tottenham.

“It really is a hard decision. I identified myself a lot at Chelsea, I have a lot of love for everyone at the club, and the fans,” he said.

“However, it is like I said before, if I leave Chelsea with no trouble and leaving the doors open, it would be fine to move to a rival club.”

The Special One tried to land the Brazilian again while he was at Manchester United, however, Willian opted to stay at Chelsea.

Willian has been vocal on his admiration for Mourinho, with the Chelsea ace insisting the pair are close friends.

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

"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."
