“I admit it, we were wrong to sign him. His performance is nothing to write home about and it is clearly shown in the match against Nottingham Forest” – This is according to Todd Boehly as Chelsea are reportedly “worried” and “alarmed” about one of their recent signings after recent observations.

Chelsea’s concerns are mounting regarding one of their recent signings, as reports indicate that his development has seemingly stalled since joining the club.

Chelsea is looking to make more signings under Maresca’s management. Despite these worries, their transfer strategy is starting to take form, especially considering their significant expenditures.

The Blues have concentrated on acquiring young talents with the potential to become world-class players. However, this approach has led to several players, such as David Fofana and Deivid Washington, being dismissed prematurely, with Fofana now having been loaned out to AEK Athens.

The players available to Enzo Maresca have started the Premier League season on a strong note, led once again by Cole Palmer. They are expected to receive further reinforcements soon, especially with ongoing links to Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, who will be available for a January transfer if Chelsea decides to pursue him.

Additionally, the club is reportedly interested in acquiring another left-sided center-back, with targets including Tomas Araujo and Castello Lukeba, although Lukeba would likely come at a high cost.

January is anticipated to follow the trend set by recent transfer windows under Chelsea’s new ownership, characterized by numerous player arrivals and departures as they aim to finalize a squad capable of contending for the Premier League title once again.

**Chelsea signings per transfer window since Boehly took over:**
– Summer 2022: 9
– Winter 2023: 8
– Summer 2023: 12
– Winter 2024: 0
– Summer 2024: 11
– Summer 2025 (so far): 2

However, one of their signings is not developing as hoped. Reports from Football Insider indicate that Chelsea is seriously concerned about the progress of talented teenager Kendry Paez, whom they signed for £17 million in 2023 and is set to join the club in the summer of 2025.

His development at Independiente del Valle has not met the club’s expectations, leaving Chelsea scouts “alarmed” and “very worried.” They believe he has not been performing effectively in recent months and is not advancing as quickly as coaches had hoped, raising doubts about his readiness for the Premier League next year.

Paez has also found himself involved in some off-field controversies since the announcement of his transfer, including being taken to clubs in Las Vegas while on international duty and reportedly being spotted partying at a nightclub again more recently—behavior that is unlikely to be well-received by his new club in West London.

As a result, Chelsea is said to be “very worried” about their latest potential star. It remains to be seen whether he will be sent out on loan next summer or if the club will determine that he is ready for first-team action at Stamford Bridge.
