But he cannot actually play for another two years and will instead join the club in 2025, when he turns 18.
Still, supporters have been keeping an eye on the playmaker, who is still with Independiente del Valle in his homeland of Ecuador.
Paez scored an absolute stunner over the weekend against Guayaquil City, with his left-footed curler heading into the top corner.
And Chelsea fans will be counting down the days until Paez can officially become a Blue.
One said: “All I see is a top 10 player in the future.”
Another added: “What a talent. I can’t wait to have him in our team.”
One said: “Elite ball striking at 16… We’ve got a potential all timer on our hands here.”
Another commented: “The Premier League is not ready.”

Paez has scored in his last two league games and continues to improve as a first-team player.
Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund were both keen on him before Chelsea sealed the deal.
And he will walk into a squad full of young stars with billionaire Blues owner Todd Boehly investing in the future.
