Chelsea midfielder Santos reveals his decision to join Forest has been made

"It was a completely different experience for me, coming straight from the end of the season in Brazil to England for pre-season with Chelsea," he shared with the Ubuntu Esporte Clube podcast.

"I was in very good physical shape. I did pre-season and did well, but unfortunately I wasn't going to get as many minutes.

"I decided to leave to play for Nottingham Forest and unfortunately it didn't go as I expected. I was always doing well, training, working to my potential, but unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity. I'm very happy to have returned to Chelsea and, now at Strasbourg, to have found my best performance, to have found my place in Europe, and to have shown my football to the whole of Europe."
