"I thank God for the pre-season I had, which was very good for Chelsea," Andrey Santos told Globo Esporte.
"Hardly anyone expected me to arrive and adapt so quickly, with great players, and I’d never played in Europe before. I played some great games against good teams, Brighton, Newcastle.
"As for the conversation with Pocchettino, we preferred to wait for this Pre-Olympic [to conclude] to decide my situation."
Santos is currently involved with the Brazil side at the Pre-Olympic Tournament in Venezuela, meaning that the decision on his future will have to wait.
His involvement there could extend beyond January, though, meaning that there may be no time to arrange a new loan to another Premier League side after a spell at Nottingham Forest that went terribly wrong.
