With the two London sides both looking for an edge in the race to sign the Ukraine international, Willian has teased a hint. In a picture posted to the Brazilian's Instagram story, he said that he enjoyed a catch-up with his former colleagues Srna and Eduardo.

Chelsea told to avoid risk
William Gallas has urged Chelsea to not to spend big on wonderkid Enzo Fernandez. The 21-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League after an impressive World Cup campaign with Argentina.
But, he is yet to entirely prove himself according to the former Blues defender. Speaking with Genting Casino, Gallas said: "The question is if Enzo is the right price.
"What he did in the World Cup for his age was brilliant, that’s why he was voted the best young player in the tournament. I didn't know he was so young, he was playing like the seniors who play already, he played as if he had played in a World Cup before and played with a lot of personality. So it's very good to see a player like him, even if he's a world champion. I don't know if he is worth that value."
