Independiente della Valle starlet Kendry Paez says he feels no pressure after signing for Chelsea.
Paez will join Chelsea in two years when he turns 18.
“I don't feel pressure, I am focused on Independiente, on the Libertadores and trying to continue playing in the best way," Paez told ESPN SportsCenter.
“To get there I have to keep working, be focused on learning. It will be something special to share things with players like Enzo (Fernandez), with other special ones.
“It's wonderful, but now I'm focused on Independiente del Valle. There are two years to go, I know it goes by quickly and I'll keep doing my thing here.
“I'm Kendry, I'm going to give the name to Ecuador. I'm going to continue being me, I don't want to be compared to [Lionel] Messi. He's very special, he's the best. I'm 16-years-old, they cannot compare me with him, because I'm in a process."
