A run of bad luck has made Eddie Howe want to add to his team, and Santos’ loan at Nottingham Forest is about to end because he hasn’t played much.
Since he moved to the City Ground at the beginning of the season, Santos has only played twice for Forest, which has made Chelsea upset.
They might decide to sell the 19-year-old Brazilian now that there are rumors that Newcastle are interested in the defensive player again.Santos was signed by Chelsea from Vasco da Gama a year ago, but he hasn’t played for the west Londoners yet.
People think that Santos is a very good player who could do very well for Brazil. He got his first cap for the national team in March.
Chelsea has a deal with him until 2030, and it’s not clear what price would make them sell, since they paid £11 million for him.Santos was strongly linked with a move to Newcastle before he chose to go to Chelsea in January of last year.
Newcastle has also been linked with Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips. This is because Howe wants to add more players to the middle since Sandro Tonali is suspended until next season.
The Magpies finished in a very good fourth place last season, but after 20 games so far this season, they are currently ninth in the table.
Chelsea focused on strikers but ‘won’t rush into splashing the cash’ in January transfer window — report
The fact that Nicolas Jackson will be away for a month for the Africa Cup of Nations is one of the main reasons why Chelsea is focusing on attacking replacements instead of center backs like Jean-Clair Todibo or Ouasmane Diomande during this transfer window.
The Evening Standard said that doesn’t meаn we will “rush into splashing the cash,” though. It’s likely that this January will be a lot calmer than the last three we’ve had with this company. (Todibo and Diomande are also pretty much ruled out by the story.)
Mauricio Pochettino has hinted that some players in the team need to be reevaluated, but they can’t get Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney without spending a lot of money. They also probably won’t go after Antonio Nusa and Viktor Gyokeres, who have been linked. The first one doesn’t seem to fit the “profile” we’re looking for, and the second one has already made it clear that he wants to stay at Sporting CP until the end of the season.
