Chelsea midfielder Dos Santos Oscar says he is ready to fill the void which could be left by Frank Lampard.

Lampard, who suffered a recurrence of his calf strain against Shakhtar Donetsk, is expected to be sidelined for two weeks.

According to the club’s official website, the 21 year old Brazilian midfielder is targeting to score 20 goals this season.

-I have been a midfielder who is a regular goals corer and scoring 20 in a season was normal for me, said Oscar.

-I know it could be a bit more difficult in England because you are not playing all the time and you play in different positions, but I expect to score many goals for Chelsea.

-I hope to keep the average of between 10 to 20 goals a season, that would be good. Long distance goals are the most common goals I have scored. I often try to position myself in the place I was for this last goal against Shakhtar, so that when someone passes the ball I am close enough.

-I score quite a few like this, but because my more usual position is just outside the box, that is where I score most of my goals from, he added.
