- 11 duels won
- 7 tackles
- 0 fouls
- 3 key passes
- 3 fouls won
- 2 clearances

- 100% long ball accuracy

Liam Rosenior: βHe was great. He constantly shows professionalism every day in his work, he constantly wants to improve and constantly trains at 100%. There were other players that had a worthy cause to be captain but I felt that Andrey was the right choice. I felt that he didnβt do the armband any disservice at all.ββ
His prominence in this side was reflected by Roseniorβs decision to hand him the armband in Habib Diarraβs absence, despite the presence of IsmaΓ«l DoukourΓ© most notably, a player who has previously captained #RCSA.
(GFFN)
Santos is the highest rated midfielder in #Ligue1 this season.

πππππ: Chelsea have completed the signing of defender Mamadou Sarr from RC Strasbourg on a deal until June 2033. π€
Mamadou was a regular for Strasbourg during the 2024/25 campaign and played a key role in the French team securing qualification for European football next season.
The 19-year-old made 28 appearances across all competitions and helped the club seal a place in next seasonβs UEFA Conference League play-off.
Mamadou first showed his high potential in the academy of RC Lens before joining Lyon. Having progressed through the clubβs youth ranks, he made his senior debut during the penultimate game of the 2022/23 season.
The influential defender was handed two more senior outings during the following campaign before he embarked on a five-month loan spell at Belgian club RWD Molenbeek.
Mamadou, a France Under-20 international, joined Strasbourg last August and quickly established himself as a regular starter in defence. He made 27 starts in Ligue 1 as Strasbourg claimed a seventh-place finish.

Liam Rosenior on Strasbourg fans treatment of Emegha after announcement of his move to Chelsea:
ββEmmanuel Emegha was devastated and so was I. I am very disappointed with what I saw. Seeing banners against one of the best players last season is unacceptable. My players deserve much more. They have an impeccable mindset and do not deserve this treatment. We are in a pivotal season in which we will play in the European Cup, but it seems that a minority is not happy with these performances.
It wonβt change anything at all because I remain very proud of my players, and Emmanuel Emegha will remain captain as long as he is there. It is still necessary to emphasize that this does not concern everyone, but a minority.β #CFC #RCSA
