Liverpool should discover by the end of the week whether their pursuit of Willian has proven successful as the Brazil winger arrives in England to decide his future.

Willian is scheduled to jet in to the country inside the next 24 hours having already revealed his next move will be to a Premier League club.

Liverpool remain in pole position for the 25-year-old's signature after last week opening talks with Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala over a possible transfer.

However, the move alerted Tottenham Hotspur whose manager Andre Villas-Boas refused to deny reports his team have also registered an interest in the player.

And while Willian will hold talks with Liverpool, he may also have discussions at White Hart Lane as he considers his options.

Willian has been made available for transfer despite having only joined Anzhi for £32million from Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in January.

Anzhi's billionaire owner Suleyman Kerimov is looking to cut costs having bankrolled the club for the last two years, but any hopes of a significantly reduced sale have been dashed by an asking price believed to be in the region of 30m euros.

Liverpool are in negotiations in an attempt to drive down the fee, but could have their hand forced should Tottenham table a bid for the attacking left midfielder.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers hopes to address another problem position with left-back Aly Cissokho close to completing his switch to Anfield.
