Report: Florent Malouda to join Santos

Chelsea winger Florent Malouda will reportedly join Brazilian club Santos in the January transfer window.

The 32-year-old has not made a single appearance for the Blues this season and it is understood that he has been told that he has no future at the club.

The Frenchman has also been forced to train with the club's Under-21 side this season, making it almost certain that he will depart in the next transfer window.

According to talkSPORT, Santos have emerged as the favourites to secure the former Lyon attacker on a short-term deal.

Malouda has scored nine goals in 80 games for France.
