Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos has admitted it has always been his dream to play for Chelsea because he has always being a huge fan of the Blues.

Chelsea signed Santos in January but the Brazilian returned to Vasco da Gama on loan after failing to get a work permit.

Santos told NetVasco (translated by Sport Witness): “I like them a lot, since I was little it has always been my dream to play in the Premier League and for a European giant like Chelsea.

“So I’m always following the games, cheering a lot. Very, very anxious, but I know that everything will happen in the right time. I always play (video games) with Chelsea. My teammates and my brother-in-law make fun of me. I put myself there on the team too (laughs).”
