Who has he played for?
The 24-year-old came through the ranks at Argentinian club Boca Juniors where he made his league debut in 2010.He was loaned to Chievo in 2014 but only made one appearance.Paredes was then loaned to Roma the following season before that deal was made permanent in July 2015 for a 6million fee.After 54 appearances for the Italian side he was sold to Zenit for 23million and signed a four year contract.What is his playing style?
Paredes often plays as a deep-lying playmaker, prompting comparisons with Xabi Alonso. He is a good box-to-box midfielder who also possesses a dangerous shot.He has three goals for all competitions for Zenit this season, who top the domestic league, including one direct from a corner.![Paredes in action for Argentina](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/01/Paredes-2.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)

When Paredes kicked off his career at Boca Juniors, he came through just as Juan Roman Riquelme ended his.Riquelme was already a club legend due to his formative years with them and Paredes idolised him.And as the pair crossed paths the veteran crowned his young team-mate as his successor.Asked about his hero, Paredes said: “He was the player I watched and liked the most. I learned so much from him, also when he was my team-mate.![Video: Riquelme stuns Superclasico with brilliant free-kick](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2014/03/argentine.jpg?strip=all&w=700&quality=100)
