CHELSEA fans are already salivating over the future of wonderkid Kendry Paez.
The Blues signed the 16-year-old in a deal believed to be worth around £17.5million.
But he cannot actually play for another two years and will instead join the club in 2025, when he turns 18.
Still, supporters have been keeping an eye on the playmaker, who is still with Independiente del Valle in his homeland of Ecuador.
Paez scored an absolute stunner over the weekend against Guayaquil City, with his left-footed curler heading into the top corner.
And Chelsea fans will be counting down the days until Paez can officially become a Blue.

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund were both keen on him before Chelsea sealed the deal.
