Chelsea boss Antonio Conte reveals his side can spend £52m Oscar money but is wary of upsetting squad balance

Daily Mail | December 30, 2016

Antonio Conte has said that Chelsea have money to spend from the £52million sale of Oscar but it is not burning a hole in his pocket.

Oscar is going to the Chinese Super League to join Shanghai SIPG and the fee from that could be used by Conte to bring in reinforcements in January.
