Mauricio Pochettino is certain the wealthy and free-spending Chinese Super League will not destroy the global status of the Premier League.
Chelsea have confirmed the £52million sale of Oscar to Shanghai SIPG, where the 25-year-old Brazil midfielder is expected to earn around £400,000 a week.
The transfer is the first big deal of the winter window, with echoes of 12 months ago, when Ramires, Gervinho and Jackson Martinez were among the big-name South Americans about to swap Western Europe for China.
But the Spurs boss believes the competitive spirit of the Premier League will always make it a more attractive destination for serious footballers.
