Ecuadorian youngster Kendry Paez is now the youngest-ever player to score in FIFA U20 World Cup history.

Pictures from the FIFA U20 World Cup may pique the interest of fans of Premier League heavyweights Chelsea late Saturday night. This is because of the escapades of teen sensation Kendry Paez.

For those who missed it, Kendry's name was front and centre in the news in west London early this year.

This followed extensive media reports that Chelsea had beaten out the other contenders to secure a written contract with Independiente del Valle for the purchase of the midfielder.

Kendry is widely regarded as one of South America's most promising young players, having scored on his first senior appearance for Independiente in February at the age of 15.

And, as previously stated, the precocious starlet has once again turned heads throughout the world.

This is due to his performance at the U20 World Cup. When Kendry was given a starting spot in Ecuador's group stage match against Fiji, he put in motion an eventual nine-goal blowout, courtesy of his country's opening.

In this manner, the midfielder created history by being the youngest player ever to score at the U20 World Cup.

Chelsea appears to have an attractive player on their roster in Ecuadorian 16-year-old Kendry Paez. The youngster impressed in the U20 World Cup, and Blues fans are already enthusiastic about his chances when he turns 18 in 2025.

He has since gone on to play for Ecuador at the U20 World Cup, where he impressed in his country's second-group encounter against Serbia, which they won 2-1.

Throughout the game, he demonstrated exceptional vision, while his ball-carrying ability and touch also wowed Chelsea fans.
