Impressive highlights of Chelsea’s future box to box machine tearing up Ligue 1

Andrey Santos had a bit of a confusing summer. For a while it seemed like he might be set for a place in the first team Chelsea squad, but then it became clear he was going on loan.

There was then a lot of chatter about moves to big teams, but Santos ended up back at Strasbourg where he spent the second half of last season.

That might be seen as a disappointing outcome, but it’s working out superbly well. Santos is playing a key role for our BlueCo sister club, picking up where he left off last season as a real leader in the side as they continue to improve under Liam Rosenior – who has been singing his praises of late. Between the two of them, they’re looking to really take the Alsatian club to the next level, clear of endless relegation fears year after year.

“Andrey is a top player, he is a true professional,” Rosenior said.

“He works every day to progress and improve. On the pitch, he plays like a very experienced player, almost like a coach.”

After a slow start, things are starting to warm up. Their best result of the season so far was a 1-0 win over Marseille at the weekend, and Santos played a key role. His highlights from the game show he’s in fine form already, and looks set to really go up a level again this season.

The questions will then return next summer – is he ready for Chelsea yet? Where does he fit in the team? Who leaves to accommodate him? But those are all questions for the future. For now, it’s just great to watch him putting in these really excellent box to box displays. If he and the team keep playing like this, there are going to be plenty more impressive highlights packages to come.
