Andrey Santos reacts to first senior callup for Brazil

It was confirmed Friday that Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos has been called up by Brazil for their friendlies in March.

Apparently, the invitation to play for the senior team got the teenager quite emotional. Taking to Twitter, the player reacted with a teary-eyed emoji and the Brazil flag.

Santos achieved the feat even without making an appearance for Chelsea. However, he was exceptional in the under-20 South American Championship which Brazil won last month with five goals in six games.

Chelsea sent back Santos to Vasco Da Gama after failing to get him a work permit. He will return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
