Chelsea's £18m signing Andrey Santos agrees terms over a loan move back to Brazilian side Vasco da Gama... with the Blues hoping that the youngster will be granted a work permit when he returns to Stamford Bridge in July

Chelsea's wonderkid Andrey Santos is set to return on loan to Brazilian side Vasco da Gama, after they were unable to get a work permit for him to play in England.

The Blues saw off interest from the likes of Man City and Newcastle to snap up the teenager in an £18m move during the January transfer window.

Santos though was denied a work permit, preventing him from playing for Graham Potter's side.

As a result, the 18-year-old is set to return on loan to Vasco, after they and Chelsea agreed terms on a loan move until the end of June.
