The Brazilian, 31, is close friends with Mourinho from when the Portuguese boss coached him for two years at Stamford Bridge.

His availability has sparked interest from clubs across Europe including Arsenal, Liverpool and Inter Milan.

But former Sky Sports presenter Keys believes his future has already been decided.

Speaking on the Keys & Gray showon beIN Sports, he confidently said: “He’s (Willian) another one that has already spoken to Jose Mourinho, he’s on his way to Tottenham.”

Willian has made no secret of his desire to remain in London, where he has lived with his family for the last seven years.

In an interview with Bolivia Talk Show, he said: “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.”

On his relationship with Mourinho, he added: “Nothing arrived from Mourinho but we do have a good relationship, he’s a big friend of mine.

“We speak to each other sometimes but when it comes to that (speaking about transfers) he respects me a lot.”

Willian is standing firm on landing a three-year deal at his next club which matches his current £120,000-a-week salary.

It is claimed that Chelsea will only offer him two-years with the duo failing to come to an agreement.
