Arsenal is reportedly trying to sign 21-year-old Chelsea midfielder Andre Santos

According to reports, Arsenal is interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Andre Santos, who is currently on loan to Strasbourg. The Gunners hope to strengthen their midfield this summer, and the 21-year-old Brazilian is an ideal candidate.

According to Le10Sport, Arsenal is competing with Paris Saint-Germain for the signing of Santos. Arteta's team believes they can attract the young player by getting him into the first team. The Gunners are interested in signing a midfielder this summer, despite reports that they have agreed to a Martin Zubimendi deal. They reportedly viewed the Spaniards as a replacement for Jorginho and were looking for a long-term replacement for Thomas Patty.

Santos has been performing well in Strasbourg since transferring to the Ligue 1 team in February 2024. He played 33 times for France, scored 10 goals and assisted 5 goals.

He talked about his future at Chelsea after the transfer, saying he was ready to challenge the first team position. He told Gianluca di Marzio:

"Am I ready to go to Chelsea?" Yes, but both clubs and my agents will discuss this after the season ends. The current focus is Strasbourg, with seven more games left. Our goal is to complete the race as high as possible. But we have to stay united and entering the Champions League is a great goal for us and for the fans. ”

Bayern Munich is said to be interested in Santos, who joined the Blues for £18 million in Gama. Chelsea repeatedly stressed that they do not intend to sell the young player.

Under Arsenal's attention, Enzo Maresca opened the door for Andre Santos of Chelsea. Meanwhile, Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca commented on the future of the young midfielder at Chelsea in April. He said (via GOAL):

"We know Andre is doing a good job. At this moment, we only focus on how to end the season. After this season, we will start thinking about next season. ”

Chelsea are still fighting for the top five in the Premier League. They will face Manchester United in the 37th round of the league at 3:15 am on Saturday, May 17, and then face Nottingham Forest in the last game of the season.
