Chelsea have confirmed that attacking midfielder Kendry Paez has joined RC Strasbourg on loan. The Ecuadorian joins fellow youngster Mike Penders at the Ligue 1 outfit.
Paez is expected to have Mamadou Sarr follow him back to France with Mathis Amougou having already been sold to his former side earlier in the window. Amougou was only signed by Chelsea in January.
Due to loan rules, Chelsea can only send three players to any one club at the same time, and will not be able to add to Kendry, Penders, and Sarr, once the latter is announced.
There are a total of six allowed international loans, three of which Chelsea are likely to use up with Strasbourg. It explains their decision to sell Amougou rather than loan him back.
Earlier this week, Chelsea also saw teenage defender Ishe Samuels-Smith depart for Strasbourg on a permanent deal. He is another who will line up with Paez in an exciting team under Liam Rosenior.
Chelsea made the exit of former Under-21/Development Side coach Filipe Coelho public on Tuesday. He is another to make the swap to Strasbourg, where he will take the step into senior football next to Rosenior as assistant.
This is a developing news story that will be updated with relevant information as we get it. More to follow...
