Far to soon to start comparing Chelsea loanee to Eden Hazard

Let’s examine in on one in every of our gamers at present out on mortgage, Kendry Paez.

The attacking midfielder is enjoying 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 objective 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 generally but in addition his time at Stade de la Meinau, how ever lengthy which may be, however he’s already having an impression 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.

‘Effectively, 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 large attacking areas, Alejandro Garnacho, Jamie Gittens, Pedro Neto and match-winner Estêvão all featured through the victory over Liverpool, not forgetting the injured talisman Cole Palmer, however Páez might show to be the most effective 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 believe Paez actually wants this season out on mortgage in such a league, I believe it’s going to actually present us the place he’s at come the tip of the season.

Let’s settle down on any Hazard comparisons for now although, yeah?
