“I have to leave Chelsea because of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez – Player finally reveals
January 2023 saw Chelsea sign youthful sensation Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama, Brazil.
Santos stated he wanted to go out on loan despite making an impression during last summer’s preseason under Mauricio Pochettino.
The previous season, Andrey Santos was on loan at RC Strasbourg and Nottingham Forest.
The youthful Brazilian played very little for Forest, but he had a fantastic second half of the season at Strasbourg.
He even had some outstanding games for Strasbourg and was named the March Ligue 1 Player of the Month.
Santos has now revealed he had to leave Chelsea on loan because of midfield duo and fellow South Americans Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
“Chelsea wanted me to stay last season, it was my decision to go and play. I did very well in the pre-season,” he told Fora do Jogo.
“But I saw that there was Enzo, Caicedo and I wanted to play, have minutes, so I decided together with my family to go out on loan.”
