Steve Cooper stated that he did not want to bring any midfielder for Nottingham Forest again that he could leave in January.

According to reputable journalist Matt Law, Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper did not want Andrey Santos. There is a good chance that the 19-year-old will return to Chelsea in January.

During the summer, the Reds signed the player on a season-long loan. However, after the acquisitions of Ibrahim Sangare and Nicolas Dominguez on transfer deadline day, Santos has dropped down the Forest pecking order.

loan. They sent him to the one club in the Premier League with more players than Chelsea, with lots of midfielders. It’s become very clear over time that he wasn’t a Steve Cooper pick.

The two midfielders have rapidly established themselves as key members of Cooper’s squad. Santos has fallen down the pecking order as a result, and Fabrizio Romano appears to have previously blasted Forest for loaning him out.

Cooper did not want Santos to work at Forest

The Reds don’t appear to be getting the best out of this particular guy. Forest appears to have hired Santos in case they were unable to secure deals for their key targets.

Now, Daily Telegraph journalist Matt Law has revealed some intriguing details about the summer transfer window deal that brought Santos to Forest.

“This is turning out to be a really bad loan,” Law said on the London is Blue podcast. This, I must admit, has always appeared to be a horrible thing.

“I’m led to believe that there have been conversations between Forest and Chelsea in the last couple of weeks to try and clear up why he’s not been playing. Forest are slightly apologetic about it and agrees with the fact that if Chelsea want to bring him back they won’t stand in his way. It’s been a bonkers loan and it didn’t look like it was going to work on any level.

Santos is deserving of a chance to play somewhere.
Santos, a quality player who has been predicted for huge things, is doing no one any favors by sitting in the Forest stands. As a result, there appears to be just one answer.

The 19-year-old captain of Brazil’s under-23 team will want to be playing regular football with the Olympics on the horizon.

Santos performed admirably for Chelsea throughout preseason. He was in excellent form as they won the pre-season Premier League Cup event in the United States.

Forest’s decision to take a chance on Santos was most likely influenced by his performance in those games. However, the move has been a fiasco, and a return to Chelsea is now on the cards.
