My Take

Andrey Santos is exactly the type of young Brazilian midfielder I find myself rooting for. Born in Rio in 2004, he's already on Chelsea's books and into the senior Brazil setup, which is a remarkable trajectory for someone barely out of his teens. What I notice is the familiar modern path: a big Premier League club snaps up a precocious South American talent early, then has to figure out where and how he actually plays. I'll be curious to see whether he becomes a regular fixture in Chelsea's midfield or follows the well-worn loan route first. Either way, the Brazil call-up tells me the ceiling is high.
