Andrey Santos vows to make Stamford Bridge home

The 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder, who endured a challenging loan spell at Nottingham Forest in 2023, expressed his determination to establish himself at Stamford Bridge, insisting he is ready to seize his opportunity.

Since February 2024, Santos has been impressing on loan at Strasbourg, where he has enjoyed his most prolific season yet, netting 11 goals, including a standout performance against Angers.

His success in Ligue 1 reflects Chelsea's broader strategy of nurturing young talent through loan spells to accelerate their development before integrating them into the first team.

His comments come as Chelsea prepare for the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, a competition where he confirmed he will represent the club. His contract, which runs until 2030, underscores the club's long-term commitment to his growth and their belief in his potential to make a lasting impact.
