Former Chelsea star Oscar admits he’d like to return to the Premier League one day with his old side
Brazilian quit Stamford Bridge for £60m Chinese Super League move to Shanghai SIGP at the beginning of 2017
FORMER Chelsea star Oscar admits he’d like a Premier League return one day – and hopes it’s with the current champions.
The Brazil international quit Stamford Bridge for a £60million move to the Chinese Super League at the start of 2017.
Oscar has been in terrific form for Shanghai SIPG so far, helping himself to eight assists and one goal in just 17 appearances.
But the 26-year-old still yearns for the high intensity of the English Premier League, where he won the title in 2015.
And Oscar hopes to return one day with his old side Chelsea, telling premierleaguebrasil.com: “Yes, I would go back. I’m still young, I’m 26 years old.
“Who knows, in two or three years to return to the Premier League… I will be very happy. And preferably to Chelsea, who opened the doors for me to return.”
Oscar also revealed that Antonio Conte’s change to a 3-4-3 formation played a huge role in his west London exit.
But the ace is backing his former boss to compete with the two Manchester clubs for a second consecutive title win.
Oscar added: “I think United, City and Chelsea will fight to the end. City and United are there for the game they are playing and the goals they are scoring, but Chelsea are a very strong team.
“Conte sets up a team to play as a team, which is very good. It’s very difficult to score goals against Conte’s teams, so I think Chelsea will come and fight until the end.”
