Brazil's young stars impressed on Friday night as the likes of Chelsea target Oscar and Man Utd target Lucas Moura starred in the 2-0 win over Great Britain.

Team GB were outclassed by Brazil in their only warm-up game before the London 2012 Olympics, with the South Americans fielding a number of players who have been linked with moves to the Premier League.

Tottenham midfielder Sandro headed his team in front after just 12 minutes, while Santos striker Neymar, who has been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid, made it 2-0 from the penalty spot shortly before half-time.

All of Brazil's Olympic 18-man squad have played for the senior side, including Internacional forward Oscar, who has admitted he has undergone a medical with Chelsea this week, and Sao Paulo midfielder Moura, who has been the subject of a bid from Man Utd this week.

Neymar's Santos team-mate Ganso, who this past week was linked with Arsenal, also featured, along with Porto striker Hulk, who has been linked with Chelsea for some time.

Speaking after the game, Oscar admitted he had held talks with Chelsea, but stressed that was yet to sign a contract with Roberto Di Matteo's side.

Speaking through an interpreter, the playmaker said: "I only had a meeting with the doctor, nothing else.

"I didn't sign any contract yet and I will wait until the end of the Olympic games to decide my future.

"All Brazilian players have this dream. I have, like everybody the dream to play in Europe and the Premier League."

He also insisted that his focus right now was the Olympics.

"It is like a dream for me, participating in the Olympics, it's so important for my career and I hope to win the gold medal here," he added.
 
"It was a good result tonight but we also have to improve and grow during the competition to reach the final.

"I am enjoying, it is not a pressure, I am focussed on the Olympics but want to show the British fans that I can play well here."
