Oscar open to Chelsea comeback

Oscar has revealed his intention to return to the Premier League before he turns 30. The Brazilian midfielder is hoping of making the comeback with former club Chelsea.

The 26-year-old sealed his big-money move to Shanghai SIPG in January after the Blues accepted a fee in the region of £60m.

Oscar has since flourished in the Far East with one goal and eight assists in 17 appearances for the Red Eagles. Speaking to Premier League Brasil, the attacker admitted that he is eyeing a reunion with Chelsea further down the line.

He said: "Yes, I would go back. I'm still young, I'm 26 years old. Who knows, in two or three years to return to the Premier League... I will be very happy. And preferably to Chelsea, who opened the doors for me to return."

Oscar had been a regular during his first three years at Chelsea, but he happened to struggle under Antonio Conte, who opted for a 3-4-3 formation.

The midfielder spent most of the first half of last season on the bench, and he eventually decided on a move to China, where he is assured of a wage package of £400,000-a-week.

Oscar won the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2015 while he also earned his second winner's medal after playing nine games last term.
