Chelsea's teenage star Andrey Santos has been granted a US visa - allowing him to join the players on their pre-season tour of the States - as he looks to impress new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The 19-year-old signed for the Blues in January for £18million from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama but the club were forced to send him back on loan after failing to secure him a work permit.

But now the Brazilian star - who led his country to glory at the Under-20 World Cup this year - has a chance to show why the club paid so much money for him after getting the green light to jet off to America this summer.
