Transfer news: Oscar has not yet signed for Chelsea, despite reports

Chelsea manger Roberto Di Matteo has insisted that the club has not signed Internacional midfielder Oscar.

The highly-rated youngster has been linked with a move to the Blues and London rivals Tottenham and reports had suggested a deal had been completed but the Italian has denied these claims.

“I can tell you that he’s not a Chelsea player so it’s difficult for me to talk about a player that doesn’t belong to us,” he said.

“I know there has been speculation we are interested in this player and in due course if there is anything to announce we will do. All I would say is that he is a very young talented midfield player.”
