Chelsea agree £60m deal for midfielder, player considering move in January

Chelsea have agreed a £60m bid for Brazilian midfielder, Oscar, from Chinese club, Shanghai SIPG.

Oscar, 25, has dropped down the pecking orders at Stamford Bridge, and has not found much success under Antonio Conte.

The Brazilian has not started a Premier League match since his below par performance in Chelsea’s 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool in September.

Oscar joined the Blues from Brazilian club, Internacional, for £25m in 2012, and has scored 38 goals in 203 appearances for the club in all competitions.

He started his Chelsea career on a positive note, and played a key role for the side that won the Premier League and the League Cup in 2014-15.
