Let’s examine in on one in every of our gamers at the moment out on mortgage, Kendry Paez.
The attacking midfielder is taking part in for our sister membership Strasbourg in Ligue 1, and I imagine this is a vital step for his improvement.
I’ve picked up on an article from FootballFancast this week on Paez.
They write:
‘Páez has tailored rapidly to life at BlueCo’s different membership, Strasbourg, scoring his first Ligue 1 purpose final month, heading residence at Stade Jean-Bouin as Liam Rosenior’s facet beat Paris FC 3-2 within the capital.
‘Because the desk paperwork, it’s early in each Páez profession typically but in addition his time at Stade de la Meinau, how ever lengthy which may be, however he’s already having an influence for les Bleu et Blanc.
‘His numbers when it comes to progressive carries and carries into the opposition’s penalty space are each significantly eye-catching, paying homage to, arguably, Chelsea’s best ever attacker, one other winger who made his identify in Ligue 1 – Eden Hazard.
‘Properly, if Páez seems to be half the participant Hazard was, the £17m paid to safe {the teenager}’s signature will show to be cash effectively spent.
‘In broad attacking areas, Alejandro Garnacho, Jamie Gittens, Pedro Neto and match-winner Estêvão all featured throughout the victory over Liverpool, not forgetting the injured talisman Cole Palmer, however Páez may show to be the perfect of the lot.’
I’ve caught a few Strasbourg video games this season however I clearly lack the time to look at them as a lot as I wish to. So it’s exhausting for me to remark. What I’ll say is that I feel Paez definitely wants this season out on mortgage in such a league, I feel it is going to actually present us the place he’s at come the top of the season.
Let’s settle down on any Hazard comparisons for now although, yeah?
