Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos is thrilled to be in the senior Brazil squad.

Santos, now on-loan with Vasco da Gama, captained the Brazil U20s team that won the South American Championships earlier this year but before the summer's World Cup, he is out to make his mark on the senior side.

He said: “It is an incredible experience. A dream come true, I'm very happy.

“I feel at home, they welcomed me very well. Being at Casemiro's side, at the side of an idol, is a dream for me.

"I'm living a dream, and it's helping me a lot. And I hope to be able to reciprocate his help on the field and the experience he gave me too."
