“He will start training with Vasco later this week.”

The reporter suggested that the highly rated 18-year-old will return to Chelsea ahead of next season.

Santos only signed for the Blues from Vasco in January but is yet to play for the Premier League side.

The midfielder helped them win the South American Championship by scoring a late winner against Uruguay.
