Chelsea target Moises Caicedo has hailed his countryman Kendry Paez as a huge talent.

With the Stamford Bridge club agreeing a deal with Independiente del Valle to secure the soon to be 18-year-old, Premier League fans may soon get to see his quality.

Caicedo, who is being linked with a move to Chelsea as well, lavished praise on Paez during a recent interview.

Speaking to La Cancha Con Majo, Caicedo said: “He's a crack!

“The truth is there are times where I watch Independiente games, it's good to see those talents in Ecuador because we know we have very good youth. I'm very happy for him, for everything that he's doing.

“All I can tell him is keep on the right track, doing things really well, and he's going to go really far because the talent he has is incredible."
