Former Ecuador, Carlos Tenorio, said that Chelsea's young Kendry Paez had everything to be better than Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Last summer was really busy with Chelsea, they won the FIFA Club World Cup and spent more than £ 200 million for 7 new players, in addition to Jorrel Hato and Xavi Simons were also about to move from Ajax and RB Leipzig.
One of the players who came to Chelsea this summer is the young star Kendry Paez. The Blues reached an agreement to recruit this player from Independiente del Valle more than two years before he was only 15 years old. Now that she turned 18, Paez finally completed the transfer worth £ 17 million to the Blues.

Kendry Paez is considered to have great potential. |
However, coach Enzo Maresca believes that this attacking midfielder will develop better in Ligue 1, where he may have more time to play, so Chelsea lent Strasbourg Paez.
This young star has had 18 caps on the Ecuador team and the second youngest South American player to debut on the national team, after the legendary Diego Maradona. And according to former Ecuador, Carlos Tenorio, Paez has everything to be better than Lionel Messi and Neymar. He said:
“He has everything to be better than Lionel Messi, better than Neymar, but that depends on him and those around him. This is the first time I see a young player possessing the qualities of a top star in the world. I think he has all the factors to become one of the best players of world football.”
Tenorio also added that it is important not to put pressure on this young player. Chelsea also lent Strasbourg goalkeeper Mike Penders and defender Mamadou Sarr, while midfielder Mathis Amougou also moved there under a long -term contract.
