With Chelsea signing Andrey Santos and Nottingham Forest buying Danilo, the Premier League sides landed two of the most talented young midfielders in Brazil last month.

But the Blues haven’t been able to use their player yet, and that’s because he’s currently out with the U20 national team and is still to be given a work permit to feature in the Premier League.

And it turns out that in case the visa isn’t given, there’s a Brazilian club who are in talks to sign him. That’s Palmeiras, who lost Danilo to Nottingham Forest and now need a player for his position.

This potential triangle makes it inevitable to compare Andrey Santos and Danilo. And that was done by journalist Jorge Nicola in a video about the situation.

“Andrey is a very, very, very good player. He puts Danilo in his pocket. He is much more of a player than Danilo. He is only 18 years old and has a bright future,” said Jorge Nicola, on Youtube.

It’s interesting that Chelsea paid less for Andrey Santos, having spent €12.5m, while it took €20m for Nottingham Forest to land Danilo.

However, the Blues signed a promising player who had been playing in the second division, and that’s why he was cheaper.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, purchased a 21-year-old who had won several important titles and had already been called up by the national team.
