There isn’t much to get excited about in a September international break – there aren’t even any upcoming international tournaments to get hyped about. But this fortnight has a potentially historic milestone taking place for a Chelsea player – albeit one who has yet to wear the Blue shirt.
The signing of 16 year old Kendry Paez was rather lost in the chaos of the summer, as we hoovered up a host of wonderkids from South America.
The Ecuadorian has been a regular for Independiente del Valle since he was 15, and has been called up to the senior Ecuador squad for their games against Argentina and Uruguay over the next two weeks.
As “Chels HQ” pointed out, if he appears for them in either game he will becomes the youngest South American international ever. That’s an impressive record in itself, but even better when you realise the man whose record he would be taking would be Diego Maradona.
