After a challenging debut season at Chelsea, 23-year-old Moises Caicedo has found his stride at Stamford Bridge this term. When asked to compare Caicedo to Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Manchester City’s Rodri, head coach Enzo Maresca confidently stated that the Ecuadorian midfielder is “at that level.”
“He [Caicedo] is undoubtedly at that level now,” Maresca told reporters. “Unfortunately, Rodri is injured, but Declan is playing. Moises, however, can absolutely be considered alongside those elite midfielders.”
Chelsea signed Caicedo for a British-record fee of £115 million ($146.5m) from Brighton in August 2023, a month after Arsenal secured Declan Rice from West Ham for £105 million ($133.7m). Being likened to Rodri—regarded as one of the world’s best players and a recent Ballon d’Or winner—is a significant endorsement of Caicedo’s progress.
Now, as Caicedo begins to validate his hefty price tag, he will aim to maintain his excellent form. Chelsea, currently second in the Premier League, face a crucial clash against London rivals Tottenham on Sunday.
