Brazilian teenager Andrey Santos will be allowed to play for Chelsea in the Premier League after having his work permit approved.

Santos was signed in a £18million deal from Vasco da Gama in January but did not meet the work permit criteria at the time and returned to his former club on loan.

After seeing out the remainder of the season in Brazil, Santos has since returned to west London and continued training with the Blues ahead of his work permit application.

And now, the Brazilian will be eligible to feature in the English top-flight after Chelsea had their application approved by the FA.
