Jose Mourinho has stressed the importance of keeping his core team of players at Chelsea for next season and specifically mentioned midfielder Oscar.
Oscar has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent months but Mourinho believes the Brazilian can improve to have an even greater impact at Chelsea.
“Last year I was keen to see some people leave and our club to raise some funds to buy other players,” Mourinho said. “This year, my main aim is to keep my players and to try to get the best out of them. People like Oscar. Fabulous player. I have a feeling Oscar next year can have the same evolution Hazard had this season.”
Oscar is currently out with a thigh injury and will miss the Copa America this summer.
