Brazilian midfielder confirms HE WANTS to be a Chelsea player this summer!

After signing the Brazilian teenager in January from Vasco da Gama, he joined up with his new CHELSEA teammates in the summer and impressed during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.

CHELSEA made the big decision in the summer window to allow Santos to make the move to Forest for the season in hope that he would get some game time to adapt to the English game.

But The 19-year-old midfielder was only used twice by Forest in all competitions and in the end, Chelsea made the decision to bring him back to Stamford Bridge and then loan him out to Strasbourg until the end of this month.

Having impressed while on loan at Strasbourg in this campaign, the Brazil international will be hoping to be the breakout star at Stamford Bridge next season and he has now made his ambitions very clear.

Speaking to Eduardo Burgos of Diario AS, he said: “In principle, I stay at Chelsea. I want to play, I want to have minutes to be able to earn my place in the World Cup. I want to consolidate myself in Chelsea, I want to play regularly and be an undisputed starter, win titles with this shirt.”

He added: “I spoke with Romeo [Lavia] and Moi [Moises Caicedo]. I’m anxious to get to Chelsea. When we talk about Chelsea it’s a matter of winning and fighting for all competitions. With the Club World Cup it will not be different. We want to be the champions.”

Santos is a very talented young man that did not need to come to Europe at this stage of his career, he is far too young and is was too big of a decision to leave his homeland.

He needs to be playing – at Strasbourg he impressed, but he will not want to sit on that bench at CHELSEA that is for sure.
