Nottingham Forest is making the right moves to recruit a talented young player. DISCUSSES SPORT REPORT CLAIM
According to recent Nottingham Forest reports, manager Steve Cooper is being cautious with Andrey Santos, who is on loan from the Blues.
Even though Andrey Santos’ loan to Nottingham Forest has only been a few weeks old, Chelsea supporters have already begun to voice their opinions.
Further discussion was generated by this week’s team-sheet gaffe, which listed Santos in the starting lineup for his parent club’s Carabao Cup match against Brighton and Hove Albion. The widespread consensus was that the midfielder should have stayed at Stamford Bridge instead of moving to the City Ground.
Santos has featured once for the Reds so far, playing almost the full 90 minutes of the League Cup defeat to Burnley. He was on the bench against the Clarets in the league but not in the squad for last weekend’s trip to Manchester City.

He will get there, though. If anyone is best placed to judge when is the right time to call upon Santos, it is Steve Cooper.
Forest has already benefited from his capacity to nurture young players and his understanding of how to ease them into action. And as he acknowledged last week, Danilo’s previous season’s experience serves as a fantastic “case study”.
The Brazilian needed some time to settle in. He fluctuated in and out of the side at first but eventually made a significant impression.
Santos is a newcomer to English football, much like Danilo was in January of last year. At 19 years old, the latter is a little bit younger than his countryman. A cautious approach is not a negative thing.
Cooper holds Santos in high regard, just as he does at Chelsea. He is an extremely promising player who is expected to achieve great things. However, throwing him into the Premier League at the deep end would still have been a risk. Murillo, who has yet to set foot on the field, is being treated similarly.
