U-20 South American Championship player Andrey Santos will join Chelsea after winning the title with Brazil. The midfielder is a great talent coming from Vasco da Gama.

Chelsea will have another new talent in their squad this season. Andrey Santos was the scorer of one of the goals that helped Brazil win the South American Under-20 Championship. The 18-year-old will join Graham Potter's side in the coming weeks, according to 'Evening Standard'.

Todd Boehly paid 12.5 million euros to sign him in the January transfer window. The midfielder was the captain of Ramon Menezes' side. He has scored six goals as well as Vitor Roque.

Andrey Santos plays in the same position as Casemiro and has a very similar profile. The English side will soon be able to count on two world champions: Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos.

The young player will join Chelsea's squad with great players such as Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount, among others. He will make his debut in elite football at Stamford Bridge.
