Oscar extends Chelsea stay

Brazilian international Oscar has signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2019, the English Premier League leaders announced Monday.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder joined the London club from Internacional in 2012 and has since scored 27 goals in 126 appearances, including 92 starts, for the Blues.

"I am so happy because I love playing for Chelsea and living in England," Oscar told the club's website. "I have enjoyed playing here for two years, and now I have five more, so I am very happy."
