Five things Shanghai SIPG target Oscar would bring to China

Reports on Tuesday suggest that Chelsea midfielder Oscar could be set for a £60 million switch to the Chinese Super League with Shanghai SIPG.

Coached by Andre Villas-Boas, the club are said to have offered the Brazilian a four-year contract -- among the biggest in world football -- to join their revolution at Shanghai Stadium.

SIPG came close to challenging Guangzhou Evergrande in 2015, but slipped back to third in 2016 under Sven-Goran Eriksson. That was enough to see the Swede's spell at the club come to an end, with Villas-Boas the man who's now expected to help the club kick on again -- starting with Oscar's addition.
