The Brazilian's work permit hearing will take place on Wednesday this week and provided it is granted Chelsea will pay a fee reportedly in the region of £30m.
On Friday Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said the attacking midfielder had chosen to join the Stamford Bridge club rather than Spurs.
The Brazilian had looked to be on the verge of joining Tottenham earlier this
week before Chelsea entered the race.
And on Sunday morning the Blues confirmed they have struck a deal with Anzhi.
A Chelsea statement read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm an
agreement has been reached with both Willian and his club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of the Brazilian player.
"The transfer is subject to a work permit hearing on Wednesday."
