Mourinho drops Oscar exit hint

Jose Mourinho has hinted that he may be willing to part company with midfielder Oscar, according to the Independent.

The 23 year old was dragged off by the Blues boss at half time in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Stoke City, and hasn’t scored since netting in the 5-0 win over Swansea City back in January while his last league assist was a week before that.

Juventus have been linked with a move for the Brazil international, who could potentially be used as a makeweight in a bid for Paul Pogba, who is one of a number of midfielders being eyed by the Premier League leaders.

Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson and Koke of Atletico Madrid have also been mentioned as targets for Chelsea, who sit seven points clear at the top of the English top flight and nine ahead of champions Manchester City, who were beaten by Crystal Palace on Monday evening.
