Chelsea transfer news-Oscar, Hazard, Moses, Schurrle

Roberto Di Matteo and Roman Abramovich show no sign of letting up on their summer spending spree. Chelsea needed to refresh the squad after letting some older players go, and have made a great start with the acquisition of Eden Hazard and Marko Marin. They have now announced the signing of Eden’s younger brother Thorgan Hazard.

The 190year old will either go out on loan or join the under-21 team, as he has only made eleven appearances in the French second division so far. According to his older brother, Thorgan has the potential to be the better of the two brothers. He operates more as a direct striker than his brother and could be a future star for the Blues.

Di Matteo is not content with his midfield options either, as Chelsea are close to completing the transfer of Brazilian playmaker Oscar from Internacional. The club’s president hopes to have the deal done by the end of the week.

Chelsea are also preparing a final bid for Victor Moses from Wigan, according to Metro. They have had two bids knocked back already, and will make a final offer of around £9 million. Wigan are demanding £10 million but may accept this offer as they know that their young winger wants to leave the club and may be unsettled if they turn this offer down.

If Chelsea do get Moses, it probably signals the end of their pursuit of German international winger Andre Schurrle from Bayer Leverkusen.
