Kendry Páez

Kendry Páez of Chelsea was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador on 4 May 2007 (age 19).

Kendry Páez, born on 4 May 2007 (age 19), is an Ecuadorian central attacking midfielder on Chelsea’s books. His market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt. He was linked with a move to Celtic in November 2026.

At club level, the meaningful body of work is at Strasbourg. Across one season there, he made 15 league appearances and scored once, with 2025-26 his most productive league campaign. For a player still in his teens, that is the part of the record with substance.

He has also been involved with Ecuador this season, making one World Cup appearance and eight in South American World Cup qualifying. His career remains early: an Ecuador international, a Chelsea player, and a young attacker whose senior club experience has chiefly been built at Strasbourg.
