Rumours have begun to grow surrounding Oscar's future at Stamford Bridge, after Jose Mourinho criticised the midfielder's last performance.

The Daily Star suggest that Mourinho's comments add weight to reports that Oscar will be part of a Paul Pogba deal with Juventus.

And Chelsea have been linked with a host of midfield talents, including Jordan Henderson and Atletico Madrid star Koke.
