Andrey Santos 'the missing link' for Chelsea
Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes Andrey Santos could be perfect for Enzo Maresca's side after shining on loan at Strasbourg this season.
"Andrey Santos is having a great season at Strasbourg, so is Djorde Petrovic; they are having a great season as a team, and it’s been a big surprise," Petit told PokerStrategy.
"Like Brest in the season before, they are fighting for a Champions League spot, and they have played beautiful football. Santos is a young player who has improved a lot since last season, he can do whatever he wants on the pitch.
"He can play as a central midfielder, a holding midfielder or elsewhere, he can do everything. He can score and assist, and is a very talented player with a bright future ahead of him.
"I think he could be the answer for Chelsea in midfield with Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, I think he is the missing link.
"Romeo Lavia is a good player, but he is still learning. I just think that Santos will fit in perfectly at Chelsea."
