Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior, known as Oscar, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Premier League club Chelsea and the Brazil national team.
Oscar began his career at Sao Paulo FC, where he won the Brazilian Serie A in 2008. In 2009, he went to court against the club due to irregularities in his contract. After a series of controversies he left for Internacional, where he spent the next three years of his career. His displays for club and country led to him signing for Premier League club Chelsea in 2012.
Oscar is a Brazil international and has represented his country at U-20 level, at the 2012 London Olympics and at senior level. On 20 August 2011, Oscar scored three goals in the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup final win against Portugal, becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the FIFA U-20 World Cup final. Oscar later described his performances at the tournament as being a "gateway to the senior side". He earned his first cap for the national team against Argentina. His first goal also came against Argentina in a 3-4 defeat in June 2012.
His playing style and ability have drawn comparison to Brazil international Kaka and Germany international Mesut Ozil.
Oscar then made his first Premier League start in a 1-0 victory over Stoke. Following his good performances, Oscar became a regular starter in Roberto Di Matteo's creative midfield triumvirate with Juan Mata and Eden Hazard. Oscar scored his third goal of the season and in the Champions League during Chelsea's 2-1 defeat away at Shakhtar Donetsk. Oscar continued his brilliant scoring record in Europe by scoring in an open net from 40 yards out in the reverse fixture against Shakhtar at Stamford Bridge, in which Chelsea won 3-2. Oscar also scored in Europe in ultimately Chelsea's last Champions League fixture, making the score 6-1 to Chelsea against Nordsjealland.
