Ex-Chelsea star Oscar identifies concerns after former club sign 'next Ramires'

Former Chelsea star Oscar has lauded the latest Brazilian player to be signed by his old club - even if he thinks the team is currently a "difficult" one to adapt to.

After signing in 2012, the 31-year-old played 203 times for The Blues in a five year stint, helping them to two Premier League titles, a League Cup, and Europa League win. A big money move to Chinese Super League team Shanghai Port followed, a transfer questioned at the time by pundits who argued the midfielder still had much to give in England.
