A ‘special’ Chelsea prospect will have the opportunity to showcase his skills to Enzo Maresca during the upcoming pre-season.

Journalist Eduardo Burgos has stated that Andrey Santos will have an opportunity to impress the new manager, Enzo Maresca, this summer.

It is widely anticipated that the Blues will soon announce Maresca as their new manager following his successful stint at Leicester City.

According to reports, Maresca has made a positive impression on the board due to his knowledge of both the first team and the young players at Stamford Bridge, including those who were on loan last season.

Santos, who had a successful loan spell at Strasbourg, is one of the young players that Maresca will be looking at closely.

Burgos mentioned on Twitter that Santos will be given a chance to showcase his skills during the preseason before any decisions are made about his future.

Chelsea sees Santos as a player with great potential and believe he can become a special talent in the future.

There have been discussions about potentially extending Santos’ loan spell at Strasbourg due to his consistent performances.

Nevertheless, the prevalence of injuries witnessed in West London during the previous season should prompt individuals to contemplate the necessity of a larger roster of players prepared for first team participation in the upcoming season.
