Chelsea to sign Paez after Potter's departure

Graham Potter left Chelsea Football Club by mutual consent, the London side have announced. The Premier League giants wanted to stress that "Graham has agreed to collaborate with the Club to facilitate a smooth transition".

Nonetheless, the board continued to work and closed a new deal to sign a promising talent. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have reached an agreement with Independiente del Valle to sign Kendry Paez, who will join the English club for the next few years.

The 15-year-old has already made his first-team debut and scored a goal for the Ecuadorian club. Chelsea will pay 20 million euros for his transfer and Paez will be able to join when he turns 18.

Paez could be one of the greatest Ecuadorian football stars of all time as his performances are incredible despite his young age. Moreover, he has been called up to the Ecuador U17 national team.
