Chelsea’s midfield has undergone major changes, but one partnership now shaping the club’s future is the growing connection between Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo. In a recent interview with Koora Break, Enzo revealed that he played a key role in bringing the Ecuadorian midfielder to Stamford Bridge.
As soon as he learned Chelsea were pursuing Caicedo, Enzo contacted him directly — a move encouraged by the club, who believed a familiar South American voice could help seal the deal. Enzo admitted he wanted Caicedo by his side in midfield, knowing the quality he would add. That early conversation laid the groundwork for what became a record-breaking transfer.
Enzo also highlighted Caicedo’s character, praising his humility, work ethic and eagerness to learn. Their bond has grown off the pitch as well, creating a partnership built on mutual respect and a shared understanding of their similar football journeys.
On the field, their chemistry continues to strengthen. Enzo brings control and vision, while Caicedo adds energy and defensive stability — a blend that offers the balance Chelsea have lacked in recent seasons. Enzo believes their connection is improving with time and could become one of the club’s most important foundations.
For a young Chelsea squad still finding its identity, the Fernández–Caicedo duo may be central to the team’s long-term rebuild. And according to Enzo, it all began with a single phone call
