Chelsea plans for Andrey Santos revealed as Enzo Maresca addresses loanee's future amid fine form for Strasbourg

<p>The young Brazilian midfielder is yet to make an appearance for the Blues since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/most-disappointing-signings-2023-24-premier-league-season-ranked/blt4708928d8f781abc" target="_blank">officially signing for the club in January 2023</a>. He was initially sent back to his former club Vasco da Gama on loan for the remainder of the 2022-23 season and then sent out on a short-term loan deal to Nottingham Forest in August 2023. His stay at Forest was shortlived as he was brought back to Stamford Bridge in January this year, however, he once again left the club on a third loan spell to Strasbourg which was further extended ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 20-year-old has made a strong start for the Ligue 1 side in the 2024-25 season as he has already netted five goals and provided one assist in eight outings. Blues boss Enzo Maresca is keeping an eye on the youngster's progress in France and has recently hinted that the player could become a part of his plans in the future.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters at a pre-match press conference, the Italian coach said, "Andrey Santos shows what we have said already many times, probably for some players, it is better they go and prove themselves and then they can come back. Now is too early but if he continues in the way he is playing, then he could be an option for us."</p>

WHAT ENZO MARESCA SAID

<p>The West London side, who are currently fifth in the league, will be next seen in action in the Premier League on Sunday as they take on Ruud van Nistelrooy's Manchester United in an important encounter.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
