Deivid Washington, a 19-year-old striker signed for a significant transfer fee, is pushing for a loan move back to Brazil to join Santos. Despite excelling in Premier League 2, averaging a goal every 60 minutes, Washington has failed to break into Chelsea’s first team under Enzo Maresca. Talks are ongoing between Santos and Washington, who desires more playing time after being sidelined at Stamford Bridge.
- Frustration Over Lack of Minutes: Deivid Washington feels overlooked at Chelsea, with limited chances to prove himself at the senior level despite impressive performances in Premier League 2.
- Santos Connection: The young striker is eager to return to Santos, where discussions are already underway, coinciding with the Brazilian club’s efforts to sign Neymar on loan.
- Chelsea’s Decision Pending: While Washington’s representatives and Santos have aligned on the loan proposal, Chelsea must still approve the move to finalize the deal.
