Chelsea FC has announced that midfielder Andrey Santos will spend the upcoming season on loan with French Ligue 1 side Strasbourg.
The 20-year-old Brazilian had a successful stint with Strasbourg in the second half of last season, making 11 appearances and scoring one goal.
Santos has now departed from Chelsea’s squad, which is currently on a summer tour in the USA, to continue his development in the French top flight. In a statement on their website, Chelsea wished Santos well, saying, “He will continue his development with Strasbourg in the French top flight. Good luck, Andrey!”
This loan move is seen as an opportunity for Santos to gain more experience and playing time, which will hopefully benefit Chelsea in the long run. Strasbourg will be hoping to capitalize on Santos’ skills and energy as they aim for a successful season in Ligue 1.
