Transfer news: Oscar has completed his move to the Blues

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Internacional attacking midfielder Oscar for a fee believed to be in the region of £25million.

The 20-year-old, who had also been linked with Tottenham, is currently with the Brazil squad in London preparing for the Olympic Games.

Having represented his country at every level since under-15, Oscar made his debut with the senior squad in September 2011 against Argentina and has gone on to win six caps in total, scoring once.

A creative and intelligent passer, Oscar can play out wide as well as centrally.

He becomes Chelsea’s fourth signing of the summer, following Eden Hazard and his brother Thorgan, and Germany international Marko Marin.

See the video above for some of his career highlights.
