Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez has expressed his admiration for teammate Moises Caicedo, revealing that he pushed hard for the club to sign the Ecuadorian midfielder. Fernandez didn’t hold back in his praise, calling Caicedo an “exceptional player” and a “great person.”
Caicedo joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 from Brighton & Hove Albion for a record-breaking fee of £115 million. Although his debut season was inconsistent, the 23-year-old has since become a key figure in Chelsea’s plans under head coach Enzo Maresca.
The midfield duo of Fernandez and Caicedo has been crucial for Chelsea this season. The two have played together in 55 of Chelsea’s 67 matches across all competitions, building a strong partnership on the pitch.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Fernandez opened up about his bond with Caicedo:
“Sharing the pitch with Moi is incredible. I insisted a lot that he came to Chelsea when the club went to sign him. Now he’s here, you can see he’s not a normal player.”
Fernandez added: “He is a great person as well, and he brings us a lot as a team and as a teammate. We are getting on very well. Every day, we understand each other more. He is an exceptional player. I hope to share many years with him on the pitch here at Chelsea.”
