In a recent report<\/a>, Fichajes stated that Chelsea are facing stiff competition for Como playmaker Nico Paz. It has been mentioned that the Blues would have to rival Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid<\/a> in pursuit of the Argentine attacker.<\/p>\n

Paz\u2019s Impressive Form In Italian Football This Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Paz is having a decent campaign at the Italian club as he put in a string of eye-catching displays for them in the final third. The 20-year-old has registered six goals and seven assists in 30 matches for Como this season across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The gifted talent has been a consistent performer on the offensive end of the field based on his average of 3.1 shots, 1.6 key passes and 2.0 dribbles per 90 minutes in Serie A<\/a> football. He has even been accurate when distributing the ball in the opposition half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 83.6% in the Italian top tier (stats via whoscored<\/a>).<\/p>\n

His current contract at the Italian club will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for the Blues to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Are Facing Stiff Competition For Paz: Is He Worth The Fight?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Paz can strike the ball with power from long range and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet. He has even got the eye to play a few decisive passes in the final third. The Argentina international mainly operates in the number ten position but can also fill in as a box-to-box midfielder or as a centre-forward if asked to do so.<\/p>\n

However, it remains to be seen whether Paz can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League<\/a> if Chelsea manage to bring him on board this summer.<\/p>\n

The Argentine sensation would inject more quality and depth into the West London club\u2019s attack. He is more than capable of fighting for a regular starting spot at Stamford Bridge in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n

At 20, the future looks quite promising for Paz as long as he continues to improve with each year. Thus, he would be well worth the fight, so Chelsea<\/a> would be wise to step up their efforts to land him this off-season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
