Chelsea reportedly favourite to sign Brazilian wonderkid who has got attention of Manchester City, Newcastle and Liverpool this winter transfer

Chelsea have emerged as favourites to sign Andrey Santos, the 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder who has also attracted interest from Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United.

Santos has attracted the interest of several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United since breaking into the first team at Vasco da Gama this year.

He has made a big impression in his first full season with the senior team, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals and winning four Brazil Under-20 caps. He has thrived as a ball-winning central midfielder who can break up attacks.

Chelsea are favourite to win the race of Brazilian wonderkid, Santos ahead of Man City, Newcastle, Liverpool and other teams who are eyeing the youngster this January transfer window.
