Arsenal and PSG Battle to Sign Chelsea Breakout Talent Lighting Up France | OneFootball

PSG are reportedly eyeing a promising loanee from Chelsea who’s been impressing in Ligue 1 this season, potentially setting up transfer talks between the two clubs this summer. The move fits PSG’s strategy of targeting young, high-potential talent in the league.

One name drawing serious attention is Andrey Santos, the Brazilian midfielder on loan at RC Strasbourg from Chelsea. Santos has become a Ligue 1 star this season, playing a key role in RCSA’s push for the Champions League. His performances haven’t gone unnoticed, with several top European clubs now circling.

According to a report from CaughtOffside last month, Arsenal are interested in the 21-year-old following his strong loan spell in France. Santos has struggled for opportunities at Chelsea but remains a high-upside talent. The report suggests he may not fully commit to returning to Stamford Bridge next season.

That uncertainty could pave the way for a summer transfer, with a price tag between €45 million and €50 million. Arsenal are monitoring the situation, while Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, PSG, and AC Milan are also reportedly keeping tabs on the midfielder.

Would Chelsea be willing to sell Andrey Santos amid PSG links?

On Monday, Le10Sport reported, citing sources, that Arsenal are pushing hard to sign the 21-year-old Brazilian standout. Behind the scenes, there’s talk of a potential bidding war with PSG. But Chelsea aren’t likely to let their young star go without a fight.

A previous report from Fichajes said PSG and AC Milan are keeping an eye on Santos ahead of the summer transfer window. Should Strasbourg reach the Champions League, it will be interesting to see what Chelsea decides to do with the Brazilian.

The midfielder has recorded 10 goals and five assists in 33 appearances this season for Strasbourg.
