Oscar pledges his future to Chelsea

Amid rumours of interest from the spendthrift Chinese Super League, Oscar has moved to allay concerns of an imminent exit as he intends on remaining at Chelsea "for a long time."

Numerous outlets ran stories about the Brazilian being the subject of a monstrous £75-million bid from Jiangsu Suning, the club where compatriots Alex Teixeira and Ramires, a former teammate at Chelsea, moved in lucrative deals during January.

Oscar insisted to Chelsea TV that his head has not been turned by the riches in East China, though.

"I want to stay here for a long time,'' Oscar said. "I want to win more games, more trophies, because I love Chelsea, I love the fans. I like the city, my family like it here.

"I don't have (a reason to) change the club. Everyone likes me here and I'm very happy here.''

Oscar joined the Blues from Internacional for a £25-million fee in 2012 and has developed into one of the club's most productive players. He has three-and-a-half years left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge.
