Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has praised his teammate Moisés Caicedo, revealing that he strongly advocated for the club to sign the Ecuadorian. Fernandez described Caicedo as an “exceptional player” and a “great person,” highlighting both his talent and character. Caicedo joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 from Brighton & Hove Albion for a record £115 million fee. While his first season was somewhat inconsistent, the 23-year-old has since become a key figure in Chelsea’s lineup under manager Enzo Maresca.
The partnership between Fernandez and Caicedo has been vital to Chelsea’s success this season. The two have featured together in 55 of the club’s 67 matches across all competitions, developing a strong connection in midfield.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Fernandez shared his thoughts on playing alongside Caicedo:
“Playing alongside Moi is amazing. I pushed hard for him to join Chelsea when the club was looking to sign him. Now that he’s here, it’s clear that he’s not an ordinary player.”
He continued: “He’s also a fantastic person who brings a lot to the team, both on and off the field. We’re building a great relationship, and we understand each other more every day. He’s an exceptional player, and I look forward to sharing many more years with him at Chelsea.”
Their solid performances have been instrumental in Chelsea’s strong start to the season. The team currently sits second in the Premier League, with 35 points from 17 matches, including 10 wins, 5 draws, and just 2 losses. Chelsea are two points ahead of third-placed Arsenal and four points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. With Fernandez and Caicedo controlling the midfield, Chelsea supporters are optimistic about their title chances this year.
The chemistry between Fernandez and Caicedo reflects the importance of teamwork, understanding, and trust—elements that are crucial both on and off the pitch. Fans will be hoping their partnership continues to flourish in the years ahead.
