Chelsea starlet Andrey Santos has named the two Blues players he can’t wait to play alongside at Stamford Bridge.
Santos joined Chelsea in January for £18m but was loaned back to Vasco de Gama until the end of the season having been denied a work permit.
Having captained the Brazil under-20s to the South American Youth Championship in February, scoring the opening goal in the final, Santos was handed his first full senior cap for Brazil in their 2-1 defeat to Morocco on Friday.
Asked how he’s settled in, Santos said: “I feel at home, they welcomed me very well. Being at Casemiro’s side, at the side of an idol, is a dream for me.
“I’m living a dream, and it’s helping me a lot. And I hope to be able to reciprocate his help on the field and the experience he gave me too.
“It is an incredible experience. A dream come true, I’m very happy.”
Santos was also asked about his future at Chelsea and says he can’t wait to get started in the Premier League.
He added: “I knew I had some chances of not playing [for Chelsea].
“I was confident, but unfortunately I didn’t make it. Life goes on. To be honest, I didn’t know [the requirements] I needed.
“As far as I know, I need to play in Serie A and I need to go to the Under-20s World Cup. I’m pretty calm. I’m doing my best at my club to achieve my goals.
“Since I was a kid it has always been my dream to play in the Premier League and for a European giant like Chelsea, so I’m always following and watching the games and cheering a lot.
“I think I always play with Chelsea [in video games]. My teammates always tease me, my brother-in-law teases me, and I put myself on the team too!”
Asked about which Chelsea stars he’s most most looking forward to playing with, he replied: “It’s hard to say, but I like Thiago Silva a lot, he’s a reference for me. Enzo Fernandez is also a great player. I hope to play alongside him.”
