Chelsea sent the young midfielder on a year-long loan.

Nottingham Forest have inked Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos on a campaign-long loan from Chelsea.

Santos, who has played 1 match for Brazil, became the Blues player from Vasco da Gama at the beginning of the year before being loaned back 2 months later.

Andrey netted 8 goals in 33 matches as his team in Brazil secured promotion to Brazil’s top flight in the past year.

“I’m very optimistic about joining the club. I know Forest is an elite team,” the midfielder shared after his transfer.

“They have great players and play great football, which is what matters to me. I always wanted to compete in the Premier League and can’t wait for that to become reality.”

In February, the midfielder captained Brazil to triumph in the South American U-20 Championship, ending the competition as joint-top scorer with 6 goals.
