CHELSEA are set to send highly-rated young star, Andrey Santos, on loan.
This much was disclosed by Times Sport on Thursday night.
The Brazilian midfielder is set for a move to fellow Premier League side, Nottingham Forest.
Many believe the loan move away is somehow connected to Chelsea’s admiration for Forest forward, Brennan Johnson.
The article on Times Sport has, however, played down this claim, insisting, instead, that the imminent loan deal is not connected with Johnson being a Chelsea target.
Following the late transfer incomings like Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo, Santos fell down the pecking order at Chelsea.
A loan move to a club were he benefits from regular playing time is seen as a good move by all.
Andrey Santos joined Chelsea from Brazilian outfit, Vasco da Gama, last season.
