Kendry Paez’s arrival at Stamford Bridge was overshadowed by Estevao Willian’s, but the Chelsea hierarchy think he too can become an excellent player. He made his Strasbourg debut in their 1-0 away win against Metz.

Mike Penders has so much potential that he might be the reason Chelsea have not signed a goalkeeper this summer. Penders kept a clean sheet in his Ligue 1 debut and already looks comfortable with his new team.
