The Truth: Is Moises Caicedo Becoming a £100m Player?

The Truth: Is Moises Caicedo Becoming a £100m Player?

It's time for The Truth!

Sam Tighe and Dougie Critchley take a deep dive on a transfer that stunned many observers last summer, when Chelsea spent £115, a British record fee, to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion. Caicedo had been one of the Premier League's revelations the season before, but it took a while for him to get his feet under the table at Stamford Bridge.

Many were quick to write the transfer off as another piece of business where Todd Boehly had spent way too much money on a player who was performing well at the time, but since 2024 began, Caicedo has begun to show exactly why Chelsea were desperate to gazump Liverpool for the Ecuadorian's signature.

We discuss his impact on Enzo Maresca's resurgent Chelsea side, and what has changed for the Blues to get the best out of Caicedo since the turn of the year, as well as examining his sometime midfield partner Enzo Fernandez, and wondering if that partnership might be one that ends sooner rather than later with Romeo Lavia now staking his claim for a starting spot alongside Caicedo.

Is Moises Caicedo on a trajectory to be one of the best midfielders on the planet, or is the fee still too high for a player who doesn't seem to have all that many goals in his locker, even if he's brilliant at everything else?

The Truth is somewhere in the middle...
