Andrey Santos, the young Chelsea midfielder, is putting in significant effort during training ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Mixed Loan Spells
Santos, 20, had a mixed experience last season, starting with a loan to Nottingham Forest, where he played just two games. He later moved to Strasbourg for the latter half of the 2023/24 campaign, making 11 appearances and scoring one goal, showing a more productive stint.
Guidance from Patrick Vieira
Patrick Vieira provided Santos with advice about playing in the Premier League, advice Santos hopes to apply at Chelsea this season.
Training Hard

Santos appears to be committed to making an impact. He recently shared an Instagram post of himself training, captioned “working in silence.” Among the comments was one from Renato Veiga, a recent Chelsea signing from Basel, who posted a shaking face emoji, often used to express excitement.
Competition from Renato Veiga
Veiga, who can play in central defense, left-back, and midfield, could pose competition for Santos in the upcoming season. How manager Enzo Maresca chooses to use Veiga remains to be seen, but Santos is certainly aware of the potential challenge.
Opportunity in Pre-Season
Currently training with the first team, Santos is set to get a chance in the pre-season. Chelsea’s first game against Wrexham next week might see Santos in action, especially with some midfielders missing due to Euro 2024 and the Copa America.
Proving Himself to Maresca
This period presents a crucial opportunity for Santos to demonstrate his fit for Maresca’s tactics. The Brazilian is keen to showcase his abilities and secure his place in the squad for the upcoming season.
