“I told him to come Chelsea” – Enzo Fernandez reveals why he asked 23-years-old player to join Chelsea
Enzo Fernandez, a Chelsea midfielder, has shown his respect for colleague Moises Caicedo and acknowledged that he had a crucial part in luring the Ecuadorian to Stamford Bridge. Fernandez said in a Sky Sports interview:
“Sharing the pitch with Moi is incredible. I insisted a lot that he came to Chelsea when the club went to sign him.”
Fernandez’s proactive approach during the transfer window underscores his belief in Caicedo’s abilities. He further emphasized the exceptional talent Caicedo brings to the team:
“Now he’s here, you can see he’s not a normal player. I hope to share many years with him on the pitch here at Chelsea.”
Caicedo’s arrival at Chelsea in August 2023 marked a significant investment by the club, with a British record transfer fee of £115 million paid to Brighton. Since joining, Caicedo has been pivotal in Chelsea’s midfield, showcasing versatility and technical prowess that have drawn comparisons to top midfielders in the league.
The partnership between Fernandez and Caicedo has been instrumental in Chelsea’s recent successes. Their combined efforts have contributed to the team’s impressive performances, including a 2-1 victory over Brentford, where Caicedo’s dominance in midfield was particularly noted.
As Chelsea continues to compete at the highest levels, the synergy between Fernandez and Caicedo is expected to play a crucial role in the club’s pursuit of silverware. Fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how this midfield duo evolves and drives the team’s ambitions forward.
