Shanghai SIPG midfielder Oscar has again declared hopes of playing for Chelsea again.

Oscar played for Chelsea from 2012 to 2017, before moving to Shanghai SIPG for €60m during the 2016/17 January transfer window.

He said: “Of course, I would like to return to Chelsea, but first I need to return to the top level in Europe. I think I will have such an opportunity. I hope that I can show a high class and the doors will be open for me.

"I have a good relationship with Chelsea. I love this club and its fans very much. As soon as my contract ends, I will be ready to consider the option of returning to Chelsea."

The 29-year-old Brazilian has a contract with the Chinese club until November 2024.
