Chelsea manager José Mourinho has hailed the development of midfielder Oscar.
The 23 year-old, who took his seasonal tally to two goals with a well taken free-kick against Crystal Palace on Saturday, has become a key player under Mourinho and the tactican believes that he has grown into more than just an orthodox ‘number ten’.
“Oscar, in this moment, is not a number 10,” he said, as reported by Sky Sports. “He had an evolution, a mental, tactical evolution that allows him to be a fantastic player. Can he physically improve? Of course. People forget that he is still so young.
