Lamela was literally chased by Chelsea officials after Spurs' interest was revealed, but their need for at least one player to have a stupid love heart celebration was too great
Despite initially laughing off suggestions that the Blues were pursuing a number of players also being chased by the North London club, manager Jose Mourinho has finally admitted that he is specifically going after every Spurs target.
"I would like to sign all of them" Mourinho told PiesAndBovril. "Even though we already have 23 attacking midfielders, we thought signing Willian would really piss Spurs off, and we were right. We will continue to stalk (Spurs Director of Football) Franco Baldini to see who he wants to sign next, yes."
After being pressed by journalists on the thought process behind spending millions of pounds on unneeded players just to piss off local rivals, Mourinho's response was unequivocal. "You say that, but on the other hand, this is fucking hilarious."

Upon hearing the news, Tottenham released a brief yet strongly-worded club statement on the matter.The statement merely read:
"We can't stand those cunts."
The latest spat between the two clubs follows several similarly high-profile altercations in recent years. Back in 2011, officials at Stamford Bridge were outraged after goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes sent a series of abusive tweets to Chelsea's John Obi Mikel, which lead to the Brazilian's eventual dismissal as Tottenham's Head of PR.

Relations were soured further in 2012 when Florent Malouda described White Hart Lane as 'an average ground at best' and 'not a patch on Stamford Bridge'. Even senior figures at Chelsea were bemused by Malouda's remarks, who would never play another game for Chelsea after his controversial comments.
