Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has said that his objective at Stamford Bridge is to become a Blues legend.
Caicedo is the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League having moved joined the Blues from Brighton for £115 million during the summer of 2023.
That may have weighted the midfielder down during his first season at Stamford Bridge as the player seen with the Seagulls was nowhere near his best under Mauricio Pochettino at Chelseathroughout the 2023/24 campaign.
“Now I am more adapted to the club, with the new training staff, which is good. I have more confidence and I’m playing good football,” Caicedo admitted to Chelsea.com (via Yahoo Sport). “My teammates also have helped me a lot on and off the pitch. I’m really enjoying it.
“As I said when I arrived here, I would like to become a legend here and that’s what I’m working hard to do every day. That’s the target.”
The midfielder admits to enjoying life in West London under Enzo Maresca’s watch.
The arrival of Enzo Maresca has rejuvenated Caicedo, alongside many other Chelsea players, and the Italian coach’s faith in the 22-year-old has been even greater as the Ecuador international has been handed the captain’s armband on several occasions in the absence of Reece James.
Speaking about this, the midfielder has admitted that he is grateful to his new coach for giving him the armband as it was his dream to one day captain the London club.
“I’m so proud of myself. It’s a dream to be a captain of one of the best teams in the world,” Caicedo told Chelsea.com. “I am so grateful to him for that because without him that would have been impossible.
“It’s a dream come true because I grew up supporting Chelsea. To be a player for Chelsea and for some games to be the captain is so good for me.”
