Chelsea loan star Andrey Santos issues demand to 'cowardly' thieves after seeing £422,000 worth of valuables stolen

The 20-year-old playmaker returned to France last summer after spending the second half of last season in Ligue 1. He has been enjoying his time at Strasbourg, with nine goals and two assists recorded across his two spells.

The one-cap Brazil international has, however, been subjected to a raid while turning out for his club in a meeting with Lille. Santos found the target in that contest, but revealed afterwards that burglars had broken into his home while he was helping to secure a 2-1 win.

Santos has demanded that all of the goods that were taken are returned to him, saying in an Instagram post that has since been deleted: “People from Strasbourg, I’ve always respected everyone, they were cowardly while I was playing today! Whoever stole (from) my house has 24 hours to return everything.”

According to Le Parisien, the door to Santos’ house was broken down before intruders made their way inside. It is claimed that they made off with jewellery and other valuables that have a total value of over £400,000.

Santos, who is yet to make his competitive debut for Chelsea and endured a frustrating spell on loan at Nottingham Forest last season before eventually linking up with Strasbourg, is tied to a contract at Stamford Bridge through to 2030.
