Recent reports coming in confirm English Premier League giants Chelsea have successfully managed to sign Brazil international Oscar.
The Blues are reported to have paid an estimated 25 million pounds to sign the 20-year-old despite interest from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. This signing comes only days after Chelsea signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 for a join 42 million pounds.
Oscar is believed to be the most exciting upcoming player to come out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 in a very long time, which made him the most sought after commodity in the summer transfer window. His inclusion in the Chelsea squad highlights the intent of owner Roman Abramovich
to ensure the Blues remain at the top of their game.
When Chelsea were struggling last season under Andre Villas-Boas, Abramovich sacked the Portuguese manager and made the assistant manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo the caretaker manager. The gamble paid off as the Italian manager led the Blues to the FA Cup and
their first ever UEFA Champions League trophy in over three months.
Since then Roberto Di Matteo has been made the permanent manager of the Blues and seems has been ordered to bring in fresh talent, especially with the departure of some key players from the squad. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266 and Jose Bosingwa have parted
ways with the club after their contracts expired.
Meanwhile, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 and various other players are past thirty or getting there. This leaves Chelsea in need of players for the upcoming seasons and it is necessary that they begin building up their team before it is too late.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 had to face intense competition to sign the Brazilian talent, whose arrival at Stamford Bridge is expected to create competition within the squad. The player who is expected to be most affected by the Oscar’s arrival is Juan Mata.
The Spaniard not only featured in the victory in the European Championships but has also been included in the squad for the Olympics. He will therefore be rested once the new season kicks off, which means http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 will get a chance to prove himself early on.
