Chelsea’s Andrey Santos vague regarding future
There has been an assumption that Andrey Santos (20) would return to Chelsea in the summer following a highly successful loan spell at partner club RC Strasbourg Alsace, however, perhaps not. The Brazilian hinted at a decision to make in the near future during an interview with ESPN.
Santos joined Strasbourg on loan for the second half of last season, thriving and then seeing his stay in Alsace extended by a further year. He has cemented his reputation during his first full season in France as one of the most promising and dynamic box-to-box midfielders in Europe.
It is logical, therefore, that he would return to Chelsea in the summer and be integrated into the first-team set-up. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that this was indeed the intention last week. However, Santos’ comments to ESPN have allowed a sense of doubt to creep in.
On a return to Stamford Bridge, the midfielder said, “Of course, you want to play for the biggest clubs in Europe, for a very big club like Chelsea. You dream of that moment but I think, at this moment, you have to have a clear head, finish the season here (Strasbourg) and make the best choice when the season is over,” said the Brazilian.
He added, “I don’t think that a specific decision has been made. No one has come to talk to me directly. Everything is in the hands of the club and my agents.”
