Chelsea are considering recalling the 18-year-old Ecuadorian attacker Kendry Páez from his loan at sister club Strasbourg, where he has not been in good form and has had limited playing time. A recall during the winter is a possibility. It is expected that the club will decide within the next 12 days whether to seek a second loan for Páez, which would likely be within England to aid his development. An analysis by SciSports’ Career Advice identified several potential destinations, assigning Fulham a Club Fit score of 73 and Wolves a score of 80. The same analysis suggested the Championship side Southampton as a strong option for maximising playing time. Páez has made 23 appearances for Ecuador, scoring two goals. Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €10 million. In addition to the clubs identified in the analysis, Ipswich Town, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Birmingham City have also been associated with an interest in the player. Chelsea acquired Páez from Independiente del Valle in July 2025 for a fee that was reported to be between €10 million and €20 million.
