Chelsea fans go wild for their 'special' January signing Andrey Santos after Brazil goal

Chelsea fans have expressed their excitement over new January signing Andrey Santos after his third goal in three games for Brazil Under-20s.

The big-spending Blues completed the £18million signing of the midfield wonderkid on January 6.

And after Santos scored another goal for his country's age-grade side on Thursday, supporters quickly took to Twitter as they went wild for their 'special' star.

One said: 'I'd rather watch Andrey Santos than this Moses Caicedo fella. We already have a gem in our hands.'

A second added: 'It's now three goals in three games for Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos in the U20 South American Championships. What a talent we have!'

Another posted: 'Andrey Santos scored again. 3 games, 3 goals. And he does so many other things besides scoring. Wow.'

One tweeted: 'Nah just woke up & see Andrey Santos score AGAIN for Brazil U20s last night to make it 3 goals in 3 games. This guy is an absolute joke. Honestly think he can come straight into our team.'

A fifth simply said: 'Tears in my eyes. We now have a goal scoring midfielder.'

While another continued: 'Andrey Santos is lighting up the U-20 South American Championship. We have such a special talent on our hands. 3 goals in 3 games so far.'

Santos, who is captain of the Brazilian U20s, has scored in each of their three games so far at the tournament, including a 1-1 draw against Colombia on Thursday.

Ramon Menezes' side lie top of the Group A table after beating Peru 3-0 and bitter rivals Argentina 3-1.
