Chelsea make major £18m transfer decision amid Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk claim

Chelsea star Andrey Santos is yet to receive a work permit to play for his new club after he was signed in the January transfer window from Vasco da Gama. Blues fans have been able to watch Santos play though, with the teenager starring at the under-20 World Cup as the captain of Brazil.

Santos has scored a number of goals at the tournament justifying the £18million spent by Chelsea to acquire his services. Understandably big-money moves for Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk have overshadowed the Blues' shrewd purchase.

Fernandez made his debut against Fulham three days after completing a £106million move to Stamford Bridge following Noni Madueke, Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana and Santos. All six have since made their debuts in west London, but Santos is yet to do so and he could be waiting a while longer yet.
