Ex-Chelsea star Oscar prepared to play for China

Former Chelsea star Oscar has declared he's prepared to play for China.

The 27 year-old midfielder is playing in China for Shanghai SIPG and admits he'd be open to playing for the local national team in the future.

He told Sportscene: “Of course I think about it because it is difficult to make the Brazilian national team because I am here.

"But in China everyone sees how well I play and their national team needs a good midfielder, so I think I can help them.

"I like China, but the players who are now going to change their nationality could do better."

Oscar has been capped by Brazil, though hasn't been considered by the Selecao since 2016.
