The versatile and talented Oscar has been a featured player for Chelsea since arriving in the summer of 2012 from Brazil’s Internacional. His potential and defensive ability along with his creativity convinced Jose Mourinho that he can be the replacement for Juan Mata and Oscar has struggled to do so but has the talent to prove himself next season.

Oscar has long been pegged as the key man for Brazil ahead of the flashier Neymar because of his ability to control games from midfield. Neymar is a brilliant finisher for Brazil but it is often Oscar that creates those chances for the Barcelona man. Felipe Scolari will look to deploy Oscar as his traditional number 10 the way Jose Mourinho has and he will hope that the youngster has overcome his late season dip in form if they hope to lift the World Cup trophy at the Maracana.
