Teixeira continues in a long line of Brazilian players to play for Shakhtar, with one of the side’s alumni Chelsea’s current attacking star Willian.
He said he was happy that Chelsea had made a bid and added it would be his “dream” to play in the Premier League, saying: “I think it’s the best championship in the world”.
Chelsea’s poor start to the season has led many to suggest Jose Mourinho will go out and strengthen his strike force in the winter transfer market, although the Shakhtar frontman believes it would be very hard for a deal to be done in January. But Chelsea and Juventus are deeper in the negotiations. “Wherever I go, I’ll be happy”.
“Of course, [I look forward to working with him]”.
Texeira said that Mourinho is the best coach in the world and the player is keen to play under him at Chelsea and achieve great things. “I want to work with him and have a lot of success alongside him”.
‘I read an interview he gave where he said he was keeping an eye on my football, and had sent scouts to watch me’. Hope he doesn’t leave Chelsea.
“It’s not an issue to me [working with him]”.
“He has this aggressive way because he always tries to be the best”.
Apparently Chelsea are not the only ones who want Alex Teixeira’s signature, the Shakhtar Donetsk ace claims PSG and Juventus want him.

The prolific midfielder has scored 23 goals in as many games for the Ukraine side this season leading to speculation that he is a target for the misfiring English champions – who have struggled for goals amid a deteriorating relationship between Mourinho and Diego Costa. “I have no fears, I want to overcome this challenge”.
