moises caicedo He has finished fulfilling this Sunday one of the great dreams he had in his career. After becoming the brand new summer signing of the Chelseathe young Ecuadorian midfielder made his debut with the ‘Blues’ shirt in the match against West Ham United for the second date of the Premier League.
The former Brighton player started on the bench. With the score against (2-1), coach Mauricio Pochettino brought in the South American to reverse the result. He came on on 60 minutes for Ben Chilwell, marking his second Premier League debut after his spell with the ‘Seagulls’.
With barely a minute on the field, Moisés Caicedo had a chance to score. After some rebounds in the ‘Hammers’ area, the international with Ecuador took a shot that almost ended in Areola’s goal. He wanted to leave his mark from the beginning.
Unfortunately for Caicedo’s interests, the premiere with Chelsea will not be the best of his memories. And it is that in addition to being inaccurate, he committed a foul on Lucas Paquetá in the area and West Ham United scored a penalty for the 3-1 victory.
It should be remembered that last season, Caicedo played 43 games with the Seagulls, who achieved the best position in their history in the Premier League, sixth. Caicedo was named the club’s Player of the Season and Player of the Season.
For Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, Moisés Caicedo “has proven to be a standout player in European football over the last 18 months, and we are delighted to add him to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.”
According to Chelsea, Moisés Caicedo “possesses a rare skill set in midfield” and is a player they have “been looking for for some time”. “We believe he will have a significant impact at Stamford Bridge this season and for years to come,” he adds.
