Andrey Santos will finally give his first steps as a Chelsea player. He was signed by the Blues in January, but still does not have the work permit to play in England. Now, however, he will take part of the team’s pre-season in the United States.
The Brazilian was loaned to Vasco and got his first call-up to the senior Brazilian National Team. He also played in the U20 World Cup. There’s a lot of confidence that he will receive his work permit before the next season starts.
