Chelsea have agreed a £20million deal to sign Ecuadorian wonderkid Kendry Paez.
The Blues committed to the transfer just hours before sacking Graham Potter. The former Brighton boss was dismissed on Sunday night after Chelsea's 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa the previous day, which saw them slip to 11th in the Premier League table.
Paez, 15, will not be able to complete his move to Chelsea until he turns 18 in May 2025. The attacking midfielder, who represents Ecuador at U17 level, is quickly making a name for himself at Independiente del Valle - scoring on his league debut in February.
