Conte set to axe three chelsea stars

The Blues’ manager Antonio Conte is reportedly prepared to sanction the exit of Brazil midfielder Oscar during the January transfer window.

The Brazilian attacking midfielder has lost his place in the team due to the switch in formation used by the Italian manager and reports from Italy suggest that Inter Milan are looking to take Oscar to the San Siro. Oscar’s club contract with Chelsea expires in 2019; a fee of around £20million is set to be agreed upon the exit, the same amount that was asked for when Chelsea purchased Oscar from Internacional in 2012.

Along with Oscar, team-mates like Cesc Fabregas, Branislav Ivanovic and John Obi Mikel are being allowed to leave as Conte looks to add in four new midfield faces to the club.
