What sort of player is Chelsea's new signing Andrey Santos?
South American football expert Tim Vickery:"He's over there at the moment (at Chelsea), doing medicals. The reference here - and I'm amongst Villains - is Douglas Luiz. It's a similar type of player coming from a same club in a similar situation in that he's been in the second division with Vasco - he's helped them out, as Douglas Luiz did a few years ago before moving onto Man City.
"He's a strong box-to-box midfielder. I don't think Vasco would have been promoted without him, but it's a big step up. he's not aa player who will be ready for Premier League football yet. He's only 18, so this is one for the future, maybe a loan move, but there's certainly promise there as a box-to-box midfielder with a goal in him."
