Chelsea's Oscar attracts Zenit interest

Zenit St.Petersburg are pursuing a summer deal for Chelsea playmaker Oscar. The Brazilian had a poor season with the Blues last term, and this has raised doubts over his Stamford Bridge future.

According to The Mail, Zenit will be busy with their transfer proceedings this month with Hulk being sold to Shanghai SIPG whilst Axel Witsel is expected to make a move of his own.

The report adds that Oscar is the priority target for the Russian giants as they seek to add more creativity to their squad ahead of a potential title challenge next season.

The 24-year-old has iterated his desire to stay put at the Blues despite the club's willingness to cash in on his services.

Oscar has appeared in over 180 games for Chelsea since his switch from Internacional in 2012.
