‘Boehly Cooking Again’ ‘Moving In To Avoid Paying 100M To Brighton In Some Years Time’ Chelsea Fans React To Latest Transfer Update

Chelsea are close to signing Independiente del Valle midfielder Kendry Paez, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

A number of other Premier League teams, including Liverpool. Manchester City, Manchester United, Brighton and Newcastle, have also been credited with an interest in the 15-year-old but Romano believes the Blues have won the race for his services. Supporters on Twitter are delighted that Chelsea are trying to snap so many talented young players:

The Ecuadorian youth international first came to the attention of European scouts when he impressed playing at the Next Generation Trophy tournament in Salzburg back in August last year, and his progress has clearly been closely monitored by those in the Blues’ recruitment department.

Paez won’t move to Stamford Bridge straight away if the transfer is finalised due to his age. British clubs can’t sign players from abroad who are under the age of 18 so he will have to stay in Ecuador for another three years.
