Willian is currently behind Pedro in the Chelsea pecking order having made just 13 Premier League starts for Antonio Conte’s side this season. 

 

Alderweireld, however, is a key man for Tottenham with the Belgian one of the first names on the team sheet when fit.

Willian, meanwhile, may look for a move away from Stamford Bridge if first team opportunities remain limited and he could be keen to link up for Mourinho once more.
