Chelsea midfieder Oscar has revealed he is more than happy to remain at the club and reckons fellow big names in the squad will follow suit.

The Blues have desperately struggled to recapture last season's form and are languishing 12th in the table, and despite a level of stability being restored under interim manager Guus Hiddink, there is a genuine concern that Champions League football will be missing from Stamford Bridge.

Prior to the crunch clash with French giants Paris Saint-Germain, Eden Hazard candidly admitted he would find it difficult to say no should they want to sign him, but despite that admission and the fear of player exodus - come the end of the season, Oscar revealed he fears no such reprisal.

'I'm very happy here and, in terms of the Champions League, our best chance of qualifying is to win it this season. So that is what we want to do and giving our all too to achieve it. But, even if that doesn't happen, I still want to stay as I imagine most of the other players will because Chelsea are a huge club,' he told Sunsport.

'And whatever happens next season, we'll still be playing for the Premier League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup.'

As Chelsea prepare for the visit of Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup clash, the Brazilian has admitted that there was interest from China and despite seeing fellow countryman Ramires make a £25million switch to the Far East last month, there was no desire to follow his lead.

Signing from Internacional in 2012, the 24-year-old has made a 178 appearances for the club, initially wearing the No 11 shirt.

However, he has since switched into the famous No8, donned by the club's all-time record goalscorer Frank Lampard and wants to honour it with the same grace as his predecessor.

'Of course that's something I want to achieve. When I arrived I took the No 11 shirt from Didier Drogba, who is another historic player at the club.

'Now I wear the shirt Lampard used to wear and I want to represent that number in a fitting way — by staying for a number of years and winning many trophies like he did.'
