English pundit Gary Neville has lauded Chelsea's midfielder Moisés Caicedo for his outstanding performance this season. This comes after the Ecuadorian, who was highly regarded as a big-money signing, struggled to impress in midfield last season.
Speaking in an interview, Neville had this to say about Caicedo (via Metro):
"He was fantastic at Brighton. He came to Chelsea and looked awful in a Chelsea shirt."
He added:
"That partnership with Enzo Fernandez in midfield just wasn’t working at all. But he’s been so much better this season. So much more settled."
Caicedo joined the Blues from Brighton for a reported €116 million in August 2023. Given his enormous transfer fee, the Blues supporters expected Caicedo to transform the midfield. However, he struggled to enhance the defensive side and outlook of the Blues midfield last season, registering only five goal contributions in 48 games.
