Reports in Tuesday’s newspapers say that Chelsea have signed Brazilian wonderkid Oscar for £25million, who is regarded as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from Brazil in years.
To make the purchase even sweeter, Chelsea reportedly outbid Spurs and Andre Villas-Boas for the 20-year-old.
Reports surfaced last week that Tottenham had made an initial offer of around £18m for Oscar, but that Chelsea quickly put together an offer that Spurs could not match.
Oscar shot to prominence last summer when he became the first player to score a hat-trick in the FIFA Under 20 World Cup final against Portugal.
The Brazilian usually plays in the playmaker role behind, although he is said to be equally comfortable on the left or right of midfield. He is described as a ‘typically brilliant Brazilian No 10′.
Chelsea fans will be able to get an early sight of the new signing as he is also a member of his country’s Olympic squad.
The signing boosts the Brazilian contingent at Stamford Bridge, where Oscar will be joining Ramires, David Luiz and exciting young prospect Lucas Piazon.
From what I have seen and heard, Oscar is a great talent. I just wonder where he will fit into the Chelsea line-up and Juan Mata and Eden Hazard also like to play in the hole behind the striker. Is there anyway that Di Matteo can play all three of them together at the same time?
There is no doubt that Abramovich was stunned by the criticism of Chelsea’s defensive play in the Champions League and wants to add more flair and playmaking to the side this season. I just wonder how all these playmakers are going to fit together? It might be that Di Matteo ends up playing the Spain formation with no striker in an attempt to get all these “Number 10′s on the pitch at the same time!

having Oscar for Chelsea mean, having a bright future for the club and the fans viva Abramovich and Di Mathewo but still we need to see Hulk to wear the blue
WoW!!!! You guys are greedy to the teeth we have mata, hazard and now oscar and people are still talking of modric please be wise if we could get modric we wouldn’t have signed oscar now someone says we still need hulk we’ve got sturidge and marin, de brugne, piazon and you want hulk and moses might also come cos your parents would fork out the 38million GB pound demanded by FC Porto, some say we need a holding midfielder for Christ sakes we’ve got essien, merieles, mikel, romeu and ramires who can play at any position in the midfield, and there’s lampard, molouda, and benayoun who just returned from arsenal nw the way I see i̶̲̥̅̊†̥̥ we only need ɑ̤̥̈̊ right back not that its necessary but and effective back up cos appart from dani alves I prefer ivanovic to any other right back in the world. Let be sinceery chelsea need to sell malouda, benayoun, either essien or merieles loan lukaku and mc echrean don’t forget romeu annd tell lamps he would be back up to the subs bench and then you can have modric, hulk and your right back. If the signing Ȋ̝̊̅§ official its great only cos of the age but to be sincere i̶̲̥̅̊†̥̥ wasn’t necessary were just accumulating salaries here and there for Ŋo̶̷̩̥̊͡ reason, may its because of our poor league position, or outrageous boost to the squad in other to defend our double any I know its for the benefit of the club.
KTBFFH!!!
Wow what a superb signing! 10q avramobich &rdm,welcome oscar & again luk to hulk&modric.blues up!
Dimateo knows fully well where and when to play each players.please,honourable chelsea fans stop complaints by telling the coach whom to buy.sometimes player can be changed from one wing to another, based on his versatility.Remember last season,fans called on luiz to be shifted into the midfield,hutchinson also played at the right back as a trial and more also ivanovic was known for centre back before and the same with bosingwa therefore Dimateo gets the control and mind you he is born to keep on winning trophies.up! Up!! Up!!! Blllloooooos.
welcom oscar d hero but we stil need hulk
What a great signing,oscar welcome to blue sky
pls my fellow fans chelsea is a club that hv wot it tks to be champion or face any opponent but remember all this mst be paid there salary so let nt run into dept because we need this playa or that playa.

Good of u .u re real chelsea fan .congat.4 new player at chelsea.
oscar u r welcome God bless u .we don’t need modric again we need striker nd right back.dat 5n
A good buy I must confess, Malouda should be sold immediately, we need creative players on every part of field. So proud of RDM but he should let LAmpard n Malouda go so we can enjoy these beautiful players show wat they av got..
He is a good signing if official , let not forget d young players the likes of mceachran, piazon kakuta, de bruyne . I think we don’t need any left back since we have sam hutchison and ivanovic …. Blues till I die
wow…….. Gr8 signin 4 us nd now we nid 2 get hulk nd a right back and 4cus on d new sison. Up rdm, up abra.
If the rumor about the signing of Oscar is anything but true, where Chelsea most definitely need reinforcement is at right back to support Ivanovic and centre forward in the mould of either Falcao or Cavani. Up blues!
It wil be a good signing when it is confirm not yet.
Oscar,your welcome to the call blue is the colour,chelsea football club is the name,so i say once again your welcome add up with people like cech, cole, bertrand terry,cahill,luiz,fereira,ivanovic,lampard,mikel,essien,merelies,Ramereis,Marin,Hazard,Mata,Torres,Piazon,Romeu,to win more trophies for CFC.
oscar ure most well cum 2 d billonaire club. We need striker and u. I belive in u. Blues 4 eva,d sky is eva blue. No shakin we no fear
