Chelsea midfielder Oscar admits that he is nearing a reported £60m move to Shanghai SIPG.

Chelsea midfielder Oscar has revealed that his proposed transfer to Shanghai SIPG is "90%" complete.

On Tuesday, reports emerged that the Chinese Super League outfit had offered £60m for Oscar, who has barely featured for Chelsea this season.

It was claimed that the bid was accepted by the Blues, and the Brazilian playmaker has acknowledged that he is likely to leave Stamford Bridge in the near future.

The 25-year-old told SporTV: "It's 90% right. It just depends on some bureaucratic details."

Oscar has made 203 appearances since joining Chelsea from Internacional in 2012, but he has remained on the fringes of Antonio Conte's squad during the current campaign.

Since his last start in the Premier League - which came against Liverpool on September 16 - Chelsea have moved to the top of the league table.
