Brazilian international Oscar is reportedly undergoing a series of medical tests with Chelsea.
Speculation yesterday claimed that Internacional had accepted a bid in the region of £25m from the Blues for the 20-year-old.
The attacking midfielder is currently in London with the Brazilian Olympic team, who will be looking to win a gold medal at the Games later this month.
However, Oscar was allowed time off to travel for a medical this afternoon as the deal nears completion, according to Sky Sports News.
Chelsea duo David Luiz and Ramires are also part of the Brazilian football team.
