New Chelsea signing Oscar will be happy to play wherever manager Roberto Di Matteo wants him to at Stamford Bridge.

The 20-year-old's long-awaited move from Internacional to the Blues, for a reported fee of around £25million, was completed earlier this week. The capture of the Brazilian, currently in the UK with Mano Menezes' Olympic squad, adds to a glittering array of midfield talent following the acquisitions of Eden Hazard and Marko Marin. Competition for places looks set to be fierce among the squad of the Champions League winners, with Oscar laying down a marker of his talent by creating two goals in Brazil's 3-2 victory over Egypt in Cardiff on Thursday night. But the former Sao Paulo playmaker says he will not insist on playing in his preferred attacking midfield role and is sure he can make an impact regardless of where he is asked to play. He said: "The offer was very good for me and I didn't have to think twice about signing. After the Olympics I am going to talk to the manager and I am ready to do whatever the manager wants me to do. For Internacional I played in several different positions so I have no problem adapting."
