Chelsea Football Club’s talented wunderkind, Andrey Santos has been named as one of the best prospects in the world of football.
Andrey Santos is a very exciting young talent who joined Chelsea from Vasco da Gama in January for a fee of £ 18 million, per Daily Mail.
The Brazilian youngster returned to his former club, Vasco da Gama on a short-term loan, but the blues fan base is eager to see him on the blue shirt for the club.
The 18-year-old youngster who’s yet to make his debut for the West London side made his senior debut for the Brazil National team last week.
Santos made it to the ESPN 2023 yearly list of best footballers aged 21 or under clinching the 20th spot in the list.
ESPN discussed Santos’ main strengths and observations said: “With great energy, strength and high levels of technical ability, the 18-year-old can successfully be deployed as a No. 6 defensive midfielder or as a roaming box-to-box midfielder. In fact, his vigorous style makes him more suited to the latter as he is brilliant at driving forward with the ball and timing his runs into the box. Most of his goals originate from picking up rebounds and reading where the ball will drop in the final third.”
