Rice hails Caicedo’s ‘unbelievable’ performances for Chelsea
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has praised Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo for his standout performances this season, calling the Ecuadorian “unbelievable.” Rice, who is also an international teammate of Caicedo, expressed his admiration for the midfielder’s impressive form, especially after a challenging start to his Chelsea career.
Caicedo, who joined Chelsea from Brighton for a hefty transfer fee, initially struggled to adapt to his new club. However, under manager Enzo Maresca, the 22-year-old has found his rhythm and begun to show the potential that made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Premier League.
“I always knew and saw what a good player he was,” Rice told Sky Sports, via ESPN. “This season as well, he’s been unbelievable. So I think for sure, he’s another player who’s handled the price tag now really well because to play for a club like Chelsea is obviously real big pressure.”
Caicedo’s rise to form has been a key talking point in the Premier League, with many praising his ability to perform under the spotlight and live up to his high transfer fee.
