Chelsea have completed the signing of playmaker Oscar from Internacional for a fee reported to be worth £25million.

The 20-year-old is part of Brazil's squad for London 2012 and played in the 2-0 warm-up victory over Team GB last Friday.

Oscar, full name Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior, is a product of the Sao Paulo youth set up but transferred to Internacional in December 2010. He has played at every level of international football from Under-15 to Under-20.

His Brazil debut arrived in September last year when he came on as a substitute in a 0-0 draw with Argentina, and he has scored once in six caps.

Capable of playing as an attacking midfielder or winger, he is viewed as one of his country's most exciting talents.

Marseille full-back Cesar Azpilicueta has confirmed he is on Chelsea's radar.

"It is flattering when you have clubs such as Chelsea interested in you, but there are other clubs interested as well,'' the Spaniard said.

Midfielder Kevin de Bruyne looks set to spend another season on loan away from Chelsea after Werder Bremen revealed negotiations over the 20-year-old are being held.
