Brazilian sensation Andrey Santos has now having his medical ahead of his move to Chelsea

He has made a big impression in his first full season with the senior team, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals and winning four Brazil Under-20 caps.

He has thrived as a ball-winning central midfielder who can break up attacks – and he is a player that the club have been keeping an eye on over the past few months as all the speculation continues to increase.

Now – The 18-year-old looks set to join and will also reportedly join the first team squad along with David Datro Fofana as we continue to be active in the market, according to the Daily Mail.

IcChelseanews View….

Santos is a real talent and it is very easy to see just why we are keen to beat off the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona for his signature – but could it be the wrong move for the lad? it may well be.

There may be new owners at Stamford Bridge – but the club have a habit of buying some of the best young talents in the game and then loaning them out to get lost in the system.

This is a massive step for the lad to make and many will be hoping that he has made the right career choice – we are a massive club that have world class players in the squad – it could take many seasons for him to actually break into the current side.
