Inter still keen on Oscar

Inter Milan are still in the hunt to sign Chelsea midfielder Oscar in the January transfer window. The Brazil international has barely featured under Antonio Conte since the 3-4-3 formation change.

Oscar was a regular at the start of the campaign when Conte utilised him in a 4-1-4-1 formation. However, following defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal, the Italian made the switch to a 3-4-3 setup, and this has in hand affected the Brazilian's chances of first-team football.

According to ESPN, the Nerazzurri will seek to test the Blues' resolve in the New Year with manager Stefano Pioli keen on adding the 25-year-old to his ranks.

But, any potential deal is likely to be blocked by Conte, who feels the player has a crucial role to play for Chelsea as they seek to lift the Premier League title this term.
