Santos misses out on Chelsea work permit
Chelsea are now planning to loan Andrey Santos out to a club in Brazil in order to secure the handful of points he needs to earn a United Kingdom work permit.
Chelsea's new £18m signing has been denied a work permit for the Premier League, and will not be allowed to play for the club at the present time.
According to the Daily Mail, Santos missed out by just one point, because of the other midfielders that the Blues have brought in the January transfer window.
The 18-year-old was signed towards the start of 2023, as one of eight new faces for the west London club this winter, but it has been reported that Palmeiras are now ready to step in to provide a temporary loan switch.
