Oscar could be on his way to China
Chelsea midfielder Oscar is "90 per cent" certain he will be moving to China in January.
The 25-year-old Brazil international is out of favour under Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge and looks set to join up with his former boss Andre Villas-Boas at Shanghai SIPG, with Chelsea set to receive a reported £52m for the player.
Oscar told Brazilian network Globo: "It's 90% right. It just depends on some bureaucratic details."
The former Internactional star has not started a Premier League game since September.
If the move goes through, Oscar will have a Brazil team-mate for company in Shanghai - striker Hulk is also on their books.
Andre Villas-Boas will be Oscar's new boss if the move goes through
His former Chelsea team-mate Ramires is plying his trade in China too with Jiangsu Suning and a second, Demba Ba, plays for city rivals Shanghai Greenland Shenua.
Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson was sacked as Shanghai SIPG coach last month, with Villas-Boas taking over.
