The young Ecuadorian talent, Kendry Páez, runner-up in the Pro League with Independiente del Valle, traveled the night of this Monday, December 18, to London to join the practices of Chelsea, the club that bought his pass and in the that his compatriot Moisés Caicedo is active in.
Páez, 16, became the youngest player to score in a final of the first division of Ecuadorian soccer. Although they opened the scoring against Liga de Quito, the merengue team tied it and won the title in a penalty shootout.

Without time to regret, the jewel of Ecuadorian football, as Kendry Páez is classified, packed his bags and shared a live video from the Quito airport before taking the flight that takes him to London, where this Tuesday he will watch the Chelsea game against Newcastle for the League Cup.
Chelsea has a visit and training plan for Kendry Páez before he can definitively join the first team, when he comes of age. Until then, they hope he learns not only things on the court, but off it, such as the English language.
Coach Mauricio Pochetino highlights the following about Kendry: “He is a top talent. He was the youngest to debut in Ecuador. I follow the National Teams. He is ours and I know him very well.”
