A prediction has been made that one current Chelsea player is going to win Ballon d’Or in his career, and lets hope that will be at Chelsea if he does!

The Blues have been signing up some of the top talents around the world in the last 18 months, and some of them have some very high ceilings.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make contact for PL striker, and also with a financial expert over Karim Benzema deal!

One of those is Kendry Paez, who already looks like a top player at such a young age.

He hasn’t even been able to officially join Chelsea yet because of age restrictions and rules, but the excitement for the talent he is and has got is already building up.

His agent, Manuel Sierra, has been hyping him up this weekend as well, saying that he is capable of winning the prestigious single player award within the next six, seven, or eight years time.

“I don’t know if we are going to have such a beastly talent in my life again like Kendry Páez,” he said (via Sport Witness).

“Today he is still at 50% of his chances, 60% of his chances. He is a boy who, if he learns to be professional, learns to live in professionalism, not professionalism, but in professionalism, he is a guy who can be, for me, if not Ballon d’Or, be very close to being Ballon d’Or in the next, six, seven or eight years.

“I think he can be one of the greats in the world. He has it all. He is a guy who is super prepared for success.

“I think we are doing a great job. Hopefully in July 2025 he can arrive with all the credentials to be one of Chelsea’s important players, which is what we are working towards.”

It’s a huge compliment, and of course his agent is always going to big him up. But even still, having seen Paez play, I think he has a point with this claim!
