The last thing Chelsea need right now is a distraction. The club\u2019s quintet of sporting directors, Xabi Alonso and Behdad Eghbali, are dealing with many transactions, both in and out. <\/strong><\/p>\n

But Kendry Paez<\/a> is proving to be a nuisance, and action is required. Currently, Chelsea<\/a> are dealing with the potential sale of Enzo Fernandez<\/a> and replacing the World Cup winner, as well as plenty of other deals.<\/p>\n

Emi Martinez is set to join Chelsea,<\/a> while Nicolas Jackson is going the other way. Mamadou Sarr\u2019s loan to Real Sociedad is done, while Honest Ahanor is expected to arrive from Atalanta in a \u00a334m deal today.<\/p>\n

A decision will then be made on Ahanor: whether he will go on loan or remain. David Fofana is closing in on a move to Servette<\/a>, and there are deals to be done for Marc Guiu, Gaga Slonina and other players.<\/p>\n

Kendry Paez spotted training with River Plate\u2019s bomb squad<\/h2>\n

Plenty is going on at Chelsea, then. The last thing they need is to have to sort a situation the club\u2019s hierarchy believed was sorted until June 2027. Teenager Paez has endured a difficult time at River Plate.<\/p>\n

With five days left to go in the window, Argentine media<\/a> say Paez has been training with a handful of other players not currently needed at River Plate. There is even video evidence of River\u2019s bomb squad.<\/p>\n

Obviously, Chelsea cannot allow this to happen to Paez. They need to recall the Ecuador international immediately and find him a new loan, but given the added nuisance involving Paez, is a loan enough?<\/p>\n

Chelsea need to cash in on Paez and admit they got it wrong<\/h2>\n

Paez was a bit-part player at Strasbourg under Liam Rosenior before being recalled and sent to River Plate. The feeling was a return to South America might help Moises Caicedo\u2019s international teammate.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have got it ALL WRONG with Kendry Paez \ud83d\udc47<\/h3>\n

It hasn\u2019t. Just one goal in 14 appearances have seen Paez fall down the pecking order, to the extent where he is training separately. Paez has been a constant nuisance to Chelsea, even at this stage of the window.<\/p>\n

Chelsea obviously need to take action, but finding another loan for Paez is not going to work. Perhaps selling him permanently is the answer. Mo Salah\u2019s new side, Trabzonspor, is said to be interested<\/a> in a deal.<\/p>\n

Chelsea might make a loss, but accepting they got it wrong and cashing in saves them the frustration of having to deal with Paez down the line. Clearly, he is not the talent BlueCo thought he might be.<\/p>\n
