Footage stemming from the Ecuadorian top-flight may well pique attentions across the fanbase of Premier League giants Chelsea late on Saturday night.
This comes owing to the exploits of teenage sensation Kendry Paez.
For those who may have missed it, the name of youngster Kendry took its place front and centre in the headlines in west London earlier this week.
This came after it was widely reported that the powers that be at Chelsea had moved forward with a swoop for the talented midfield starlet.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano even went as far as to suggest that the Blues were closing on a deal, amid ongoing negotiations with their counterparts at Ecuadorian outfit Independiente del Valle.
