GoalPost read
K. Páez is a developing attacking midfielder whose value rests on a creative profile still moving toward his peak years. The read is held down by limited run time despite availability and by the level of competition his minutes came in.

Analysis overview
K. Páez plays like a winger who wants the ball early and often, then turns on the imagination. He drifts into useful pockets, carries at defenders to open passing lanes, and looks to slip the final ball rather than force the finish himself. For Ecuador, he is an emerging attacking connector: lively between the lines, alert to combination play, and always hunting the pass that unsettles a back line.
