Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has lavished praise on Moisés Caicedo, claiming the Ecuadorian midfielder is now on par with Premier League stars Rodri and Declan Rice. Maresca expressed confidence in Caicedo’s ability to compete with the league’s best in his position.
Speaking about Caicedo’s recent form, Maresca stated:
“Moisés Caicedo can sit at the table with Rodri and Declan Rice. He is for sure now at that level. No doubt.”
Maresca also acknowledged the absence of Manchester City’s Rodri due to injury but highlighted Caicedo’s potential to make a similar impact:
“Unfortunately, Rodri is injured, but Declan is playing. But Moisés can be up there.”
Since joining Chelsea in a record-breaking transfer, Caicedo has faced pressure to justify his price tag. However, his performances under Maresca’s guidance are starting to solidify his reputation as one of the top midfielders in the league.
With such high praise, Chelsea fans will hope Caicedo continues to rise and anchor the midfield as the Blues aim to regain their competitive edge.
