Andrey Nascimento dos Santos (born 3 May 2004) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Strasbourg, on loan from Premier League club Chelsea, and the Brazil national team.
Club career
[edit]Vasco da Gama
[edit]At the age of four, Santos was introduced to futsal in an effort to lose weight. He fell in love with the game, and began playing as a defender, before being moved up to midfield during his time in Vasco da Gama's youth academy.[3]
On 6 March 2021, at the age of 16, Santos made his professional debut for Vasco da Gama as an 85th-minute substitute in a 1–0 Campeonato Carioca loss away to Volta Redonda.[4] He would go on to make his league debut in a 3–0 Série B defeat away to Londrina on 28 November 2021.[5] In the 2022 season, Vasco manager Zé Ricardo made Santos a starter in the team, propelling his career to new heights.[3] He became the youngest goalscorer in the club's history on 7 June 2022, netting in a 3–2 Série B victory away to Náutico.[3][6]
Chelsea
[edit]On 6 January 2023, Vasco da Gama announced that Santos had departed the club to join Premier League club Chelsea.[7]
Loan to Vasco da Gama
[edit]On 2 March 2023, he returned to Vasco on loan until 30 June 2023.[8]
Loan to Nottingham Forest
[edit]On 25 August 2023, Chelsea announced Santos' season-long loan to Nottingham Forest.[9] He made his Premier League debut against Liverpool at Anfield. He was recalled from Nottingham Forest on 4 January 2024 after Santos only made two appearances in 5 months.[10]
Loan to Strasbourg
[edit]On 1 February 2024, Santos was loaned to Ligue 1 club Strasbourg until the end of the season.[11] The loan was extended for one more season on 2 August 2024.[12]
International career
[edit]Santos represented Brazil's under-15s at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship. He has also represented his nation at under-20 level.[3] Santos captained the under-20s en route to an undefeated title in the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, scoring a joint-top six goals during the tournament.[13] In March 2023, Santos was called-up by interim coach Ramon Menezes for Brazil's friendly away at Morocco, where he made his debut as a starter in a 2–1 loss.[14]
