Kendry Paez set to join Strasbourg on loan from Chelsea

Paez, just 18 years old, is widely regarded as one of South America's brightest prospects. After impressing in his early appearances for both club and country, the midfielder is now poised for his first experience in European top-flight football.

Once the final details of the loan are clarified, he is expected to travel to France and link up with his new teammates ahead of the upcoming season.

Strasbourg, under shared ownership with Chelsea's parent company BlueCo, has become a key destination in this long-term development model.

For Paez, the move represents both a challenge and an opportunity. With Strasbourg offering the chance of consistent first-team minutes in Ligue 1, the loan could prove crucial in shaping his progression before a potential breakthrough at Stamford Bridge.
