Fabrizio Romano reveals Chelsea plan for Andrey Santos amid Strasbourg form

The 20-year-old is having a fantastic season in France, scoring eight goals and dishing out three assists across all competitions for the Ligue 1 team this year. In fact, some Chelsea fans have called for the club to recall Santos during the January transfer window.

Roméo Lavia is still injured, and Enzo Fernández just made a full recovery. Due to these absences, Enzo Maresca was temporarily shorthanded in midfield. As a response, the Italian reportedly requested that the Stamford Bridge hierarchy bring in a new midfield player during the transfer window (Simon Phillips).
