Jose Mourinho plans to develop Oscar next season
The Brazilian playmaker had been tipped to leave the Blues in the summer, with Liverpool, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain linked with £20million bids.
However, Mourinho has revealed his plan to take the 23-year-old to the next level at Stamford Bridge as he did with Hazard, who scored 14 goals and set up nine to help guide Chelsea to the Premier League title.
