Chelsea to recall Andrey Santos from Forest loan in January

Andrey Santos is likely to return to the Chelsea squad this January after the Blues are reportedly interested in recalling the player from Nottingham Forest, exercising a break clause in his loan deal with the Tricky Trees.

The defensive midfielder has struggled for game time under Steve Cooper, having played just seven minutes in the Premier League so far and all of that time in the EFL Cup match against Burnley. 

Pochettino's side signed Andrey Santos early this summer for £18m from Vasco da Gama, ahead of elite European clubs who also had the Brazilian on their radar. 

It is not yet known where the young talent will play in the second half of the season, but Ligue 1 side Strasbourg are interested in signing him on loan until the end of the season, according to 'The Athletic'.
