Chelsea Completes Oscar Signing.

Young Brazilian playmaker Oscar will join Chelsea FC

Sky Sports is reporting this morning that Chelsea have completed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Oscar from Internacional.  The deal has been rumored for a couple of weeks, and is said to be worth about £25million.

The 20 year old is a product of the Sao Paulo youth system, but has spent the last couple of seasons with Internacional. He has played at every level of the Brazilian system, and made his full international debut last September.  He has earned 6 caps and scored one goal for the senior side.  He'll also be participating in the London Olympics with Brazil.

Chelsea has been active this window, signing Eden Hazard and Marko Marin.  The Blues have also been strongly linked to two more forwards, Brazilian Hulk and Wigan's Victor Moses.  Still, the Oscar deal is quite a coup, welcome to Stamford Bridge!
