Spurs fans have been discussing the reported news that the North London club could sign Chelsea winger Willian on a free transfer this summer.
According to the Telegraph (via Hotspur Related), the Brazilian, who is out of contract in the summer, is being looked at by Spurs, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. And, Duncan Castle has also stated that Spurs have proposed a deal for the attacker (as per Transfer Window Podcast, via Express).
The 31-year-old has impressed so far this season; averaging a superb 7.25 rating for his performances in the Premier League; having contributed five goals and five assists.
Since signing for Chelsea in 2013, the former Shaktar Donetsk man has gone on to make 329 appearances for the Blues; contributing 59 goals and 59 assists. He was reportedly close to signing for Spurs before joining the side at Stamford Bridge, but having now established himself as an experienced Premier League player, it seems as if a move to the North London club is back on the cards.
Would Willian be a good signing for Spurs?

These Spurs fans are clearly keen on a move for Willian and seem to think that signing him on a free transfer would be a good deal.
What do we think?
Willian has plenty of Premier League experience, is available on a free and would provide competition for the likes of Heung-Min Son and Steven Bergwijn, so it is difficult to see the negatives with this potential signing.
