RECORD BREAKER: Chelsea signing Kendry Paez makes history with Ecuador

Chelsea signing Kendry Paez has broken a new record while with Ecuador.

As he continues to develop with Independiente della Valle, the Chelsea prospect is breaking international records with his national team.

Paez has made history by becoming the youngest player to score in a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier.

The striker scored in the 2-1 victory in Bolivia at the age of 16 years and 161 days.

Paez beat the record of the Paraguayan Gustavo Neffa, a former Cremonese player who inspired the stage name of a famous Italian singer.
