Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund were interested in signing the midfielder, but Chelsea have won the race by making first contact. The youngster is one of the most highly rated attacking midfielders from Ecuador, and has made three first team appearances, scoring one goal. 

He has attracted a lot of praise for his talent, and is expected to be a bright prospect for the club under their new model. 

Kendry Paez isn’t the first talented youngster that Chelsea have recruited from South America this season. They also signed Andrey Santos, the captain of the Brazil U-20 team during the January transfer window. But, a work permit issue prevented him from linking up with the first team. 

He has been sent back on loan to Vasco da Gama, and is expected to move to England in the summer when the transfer window opens.
