In an effort to restock under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea was once again at the forefront of the summer transfer market, receiving a number of intriguing young players. With the Blues winning just three of their first eight Premier League games under the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, that rebuild hasn’t been as easy as some may have imagined.
It’s challenging to single out one of their summer additions as a true star since, as Chelsea’s results have shown, none of them have truly taken off. However, one newcomer has had an especially difficult time while out on loan, and he may soon return to Stamford Bridge.
What recent Chelsea transfer news is there?
Chelsea’s remarkable roster revamp cost just under £400 million in total, but they are starting to show signs of life under Pochettino after winning their previous two Premier League games. In actuality, the Stamford Bridge team’s recent international break occurred just as their form was turning a crucial juncture. They play an unbeaten Arsenal team that just defeated Manchester City next, a match that, if it goes well, might genuinely mark the beginning of Pochettino’s new era.
It might not take long for a particular loanee to start contributing at Stamford Bridge, either. According to the most recent Andrey Santos transfer rumors, the summer signing may be returning from his loan at Nottingham Forest earlier than anticipated since he found it difficult to get playing time.
Although no decision has been taken as of yet, Jones claims Chelsea is seriously contemplating recalling Santos in January. At that point, the strategy might be to locate the midfielder a new loan assignment somewhere else, which would give him some much-needed playing time. Santos has undoubtedly had a few forgettable months since his £18 million transfer to Chelsea.
Why is Andrey Santos not on the field for Nottingham Forest?
They needed choices in the middle of the pitch after Santos finished moving to Nottingham Forest. Santos’ standing in the hierarchy was jeopardized when Steve Cooper welcomed Ibrahim Sangare and Nicolas Dominguez just before the deadline. He has since been left out in the cold, making just one appearance across all competitions, a 1-0 loss to Burnley in the Carabao Cup.
Santos, who is still only 18 years old, needs playing time to improve, therefore a return to Chelsea before another loan transfer abroad may be the wisest course of action.
The accolades the midfielder has gotten, including from Juninho, who told Resenha Loading Channel through Samba Foot: “It’s uncommon to find an 18-year-old that sharp, speaks volumes about his talent. He is a monster on the outside. He is significantly superior than the other players in terms of technique. He will perform far better than I will. He is a much better player overall. I don’t have a problem stating that when I was 18 years old, I didn’t play even half of what he does.
With that said, Chelsea and Santos must make the proper decision when the January transfer window opens.
