Chelsea Andrey Santos establishes his value by helping his side in winning the Copa America
Chelsea have done abundant signings and all had their chance to make their debut in the games, although only one signing is yet to make his debut. Andrey Santos, a £13 million signing from Vasco de Gama, joined the team in January.
This is because the player captained the U20 Brazil team in the Copa American, which came to an end yesterday after three weeks of competition. Santos undoubtedly made headlines as Brazil won the tournament.
He was Brazil’s captain and scored in their decisive 2-0 victory over Uruguay. The teenager tied Chelsea target Vitor Roque for the most goals in the tournament with a total of six goals.
His track record undoubtedly speaks for itself and illustrates the value he will add to Chelsea’s midfield once he joins the team.

He has a tonne of talent, and his addition to the middle of the field will undoubtedly strengthen our midfield, as well as his 37 games with Vasco, where he scored eight goals.
Given that he is young and will surely require time to play in the Premier League and would also have a competition once N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic return from injuries, Potter could be patient with him and give him enough time.
He will have a lot to offer once he joins the squad, but will likely see less playing time than other players but might serve as a set of fresh legs to add some pace and creativity to the game.
Andrey Santos on his way to London to join Chelsea squad
Andrey Santos is on his way to London to join up with Chelsea.
After a brief visit to the city in January to sign his contract, the youngster has had a long spell in South America competing at the continental U20 Championships – where he starred with 6 goals from midfield.
He heads to London for a more proper integration into his new team – and all being well with his work permit – some games in the first team too. He looks absolutely brilliant, and we can’t wait to see him in action in Blue.
