Kendry Páez: Ecuador’s Rising Star

Kendry Páez, born on May 4, 2007, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, is a versatile midfielder currently playing for Independiente del Valle. Known for his attacking prowess, Páez can operate as an attacking midfielder, central midfielder, or right winger. Standing 1.77 meters tall, he has already made his mark on the international stage, becoming the youngest goalscorer in Copa America 2024 during Ecuador’s match against Jamaica. His market value is estimated at €12.00 million, and he is set to join Chelsea in the summer of 2025 for a transfer fee of £17 million. Páez’s move to Stamford Bridge underscores Chelsea’s intent to cultivate young talent for long-term success.


Willian Estevão: Brazil’s Young Sensation

Willian Estevão, full name Estêvão Willian Almeida de Oliveira Gonçalves, was born on April 24, 2007, in Franca, Brazil. Estevão, a right winger for Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, stands 1.76 meters tall and has quickly gained attention with his impressive performances. Valued at €30.00 million, Estevão is set to join Chelsea in 2025 for €34 million. His international career highlights include becoming the fifth youngest player to represent Brazil. Estevão’s addition to Chelsea’s ranks reflects the club’s commitment to investing in high-caliber youth players to maintain their competitive edge.

Chelsea’s Strategic Youth Investment

Chelsea’s acquisition of Kendry Páez and Willian Estevão is part of a broader strategy to bolster the squad with young, promising players. This approach is evident in the club’s recent activities, including interest in high-profile players like Victor Osimhen and potential squad changes involving players like João Félix. As Chelsea prepares for these new additions, the club is poised to create a dynamic and formidable team capable of challenging for top honors in the coming years.
