The London is Blue podcast have been speaking to Matt Law about which players might leave the club this summer, and he mentioned one interesting name:

“I wonder where things stand for Andrey Santos at the moment. He was the player who looked like he ould be the huge beneficiary of the Liam Rosenior appointment – and he was for a little bit,” Law mused.

“We know that Chelsea are looking at midfield options in the transfer market. We know that if Alonso plays his three at the back, he likes two sixes. I am wondering Santos is a little bit left on the sidelines within all this.”

Santos a prime candidate to be sold if Blues buy in midfield

We’ve had similar thoughts about Santos. He’s a solid player who could easily stick around in the squad, but perhaps his versatility is also his downfall. He’s not enough of a number 10 or a number 6 to really have an obvious spot in Alonso’s team, and the fact he could be sold for a big profit will surely tempt Chelsea if they decide to spend in midfield.
