Chelsea have secured a deal for the highly rated Brazilian midfielder Oscar, from Internacional.
The attacking midfielder signed a five year deal at Stamford Bridge for a fee in the region of £25 million.
The midfielder who is currently in the Brazilian Olympic squad joins Chelsea from Internacional after previously playing for Sao Paulo and in Brazil has been liked to his fellow countryman Kaka.
The player first said that he would make up his mind about his future after the Olympic Games in London before undergoing a medical and completing his move to the Bridge.
Oscar also said that all Brazilian players have a dream to play in Europe and the Premier League.
Chelsea, who won the Champions League last season, are on a mission to rebuild the club and have shown their intention to fight for the Premier League as well as the Champions League by completing deals for some of the hottest young talents in world football.
The likes of Werder Bremen midfielder Marko Marin, Eden Hazard who was undoubtedly one of the most sought after players in Europe as well as his brother Thorgan who is probably the more talented from the two and now the Brazilian and former Internacional midfileder Oscar, have all joined the club.
Chelsea will be looking to overthrow the dominant Manchester clubs next season and are looking a whole lot stronger after completing deals for some of Europe's and South America's best young talents during this summer.
Mix that in with players such as Lucas Piazon, who has massive potential, and the experience of others such as John Terry and Frank Lampard and you have a team that can challenge on all fronts, domestically and in Europe.
