Chelsea agree £52m fee with Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG as Oscar prepares to make January move

Chelsea have confirmed a £52million fee has been agreed with Shanghai SIPG for the sale of Brazilian midfielder Oscar.

He will become the most expensive signing by a Chinese Super League club, joining up with his former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas as clubs in the Far East continue to splash the cash.

Oscar has fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge, playing 11 matches this season but has not started in the Premier League for the leaders since mid-September.
