Chelsea have welcomed the arrival of their new midfielder and Brazil star Santos.

Santo, 18, progressed through the ranks at Vasco, his boyhood club, and helped them to promotion to the top flight with a third-place finish in Serie B last term, during which he played 33 times and scored eight goals.

Santos said his move to Chelsea is a big opportunity as he is excited to be at Stamford Bridge.

Santos said in a statement via Chelsea’s website said: ‘It’s a very big opportunity for me. This is a big club playing in big competitions like the Premier League so I am very excited. The players here are so good and I am very happy to be here.’

According to the record, Santos made his debut at 17, as a late substitute in the Campeonato Carioca, a tournament for teams in the local area of Rio de Janeiro.

He was active during that campaign for the club’s Under-20 side and impressed in a box-to-box midfield role in which he regularly contributed with goals and assists.
