Forget Kendry Paez, Celtic don’t need another Chelsea youth loan

Writer Jamie Kemble argues that Celtic should avoid pursuing another Chelsea youth loan move for 19-year-old winger Kendry Paez. TeamTalk reported that Celtic are among several clubs interested in the youngster, who previously completed loan stints at Strasbourg and River Plate. However, Kemble believes the Scottish Premiership club should prioritize permanent, impactful signings over developing another temporary player.

Celtic already hold Chelsea loanees Shim Mheuka and Landon Emenalo, alongside loanee Oliver Sorensen. Kemble emphasizes that the squad urgently needs established senior players in the winter transfer window, especially following the summer departures of midfielders Arne Engels and Reo Hatate.
