Shakhtar Donetsk striker Eduardo da Silva has revealed that he has recommended that teammate Willian only sign for Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea.

Willian was a target for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, but the former Gunners man has said that he has advised the Brazilian not to sign for Andre Villas-Boas's side.

"There are three clubs who are big enough and good enough for Willian – Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea," said Eduardo.

"I have recommended these clubs – no others. He needs to play at one of the best teams."

Spurs were ready to smash their transfer record by bidding £25 million for the attacking midfielder in August.
