Chelsea FC transfer news: Andre Villas-Boas' Shanghai SIPG set to sign Oscar - reports

Chelsea midfielder Oscar is close to linking up with Andre Villas-Boas in the Chinese Super League, according to reports.

The Portuguese boss recently replaced Sven Goran-Eriksson as manager of Shanghai SIPG and he is set to raid his old club for the Brazilian midfielder.

Villas-Boas, who was sacked by Chelsea months before Oscar’s arrival in 2012, could shell out around £52million for the 25-year-old’s services.

The move would see Oscar link up with compatriot Hulk, one of world football’s top earners.

Oscar has played over 200 games for Chelsea, winning the Premier League, Europa League and the League Cup, but he is currently out of favour at Stamford Bridge.
