Chelsea have completed the signing of Andrey Santos from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama. The 18-year-old becomes signing number three of the January transfer window at Stamford Bridge following the additions of David Datro Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.
The deal was announced by Vasco yesterday (Friday) before Chelsea confirmed the move on Saturday afternoon. Santos follows a number of young talents brought to the club recently following the arrivals of Omari Hutchinson and Carney Chukwuemeka.
Capped at Under-20 level for Brazil, Santos is expected to feature for Mark Robinson’s Under-23 side before earning an opportunity in Graham Potter's first team.
