Chelsea now considering cutting short the promising star's loan deal as Pochettino decision made

Chelsea are not happy that Andrey Santos has only played seven Premier League minutes all season.

The Blues board have big plans for the Brazilian and were hoping he would progress well under Steve Cooper but he's been hugely sidelined there.

Forest beat competition from clubs in Europe and the Championship for the 19-year-old's signature but since then, it's been downhill and Chelsea are understandably concerned by his lack of minutes.

Steve Cooper revealed in October that he'd held dialogue with Chelsea chiefs to explain Santos' lack of involvement since switching to the East Midlands. 

Chelsea have turned things around in their project and have signed some of Europe's young talent as they look to build a team that truly takes care of itself.

Under Roman Abramovich, the club was funded by the now-suspended Oligarch's finances but the new owners want to streamline the finances and thus the reason to bring players within a certain talent and age that will be world beaters soon.

In other news, the Blues will be hoping to get all three points when they take on Pep Gaurdiola's Manchester City at Stamford Bridge later today.

They are high on confidence after thrashing Tottenham 4-1 on Monday night but Manchester City are the best team in Europe and on their day can hurt any team badly.

Chelsea have played well against big teams which gives them a huge lift given they held Liverpool and Arsenal before beating Tottenham.
