Craig Burley thinks one of Chelsea’s recent signings should never have joined Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Chelsea have been extremely active in the last few transfer windows, bringing in the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Christopher Nkunku and Moises Caicedo.

Craig Burley, though, speaking on ESPN FC, has claimed that one of their new recruits should have gone somewhere else.

Despite the Blues bringing in a lot of expensive signings, they have really struggled of late. The club currently find themselves 10th in the Premier League table and were beaten by Championship side Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup last night.

Cole Palmer missed some glorious chances, stunning one pundit who watched the game.

Craig Burley slams Moises Caicedo’s decision to join Chelsea

According to Burley, Caicedo should have joined Liverpool or Arsenal instead of Chelsea last summer.

On the midfielder, he said: “At Brighton, he looked like a £100 million player. He was a right player at Brighton, he was. Arsenal wanted him, Chelsea, Liverpool wanted him. Chelsea got him.

“He should’ve gone to Liverpool or Arsenal, not Chelsea. That’s a different story. He’s made the wrong move at this moment in time, no sign of that changing.”

Will Moises Caicedo regret joining Chelsea?

He could, especially if Liverpool go on to win the Premier League title this season. The Reds are top of the table right now so have a good chance of doing that.

They were, of course, also interested in signing Caicedo, with Jurgen Klopp even confirming at one stage that his club and Brighton had agreed a deal for the 22-year-old to move to Anfield.

“I can confirm the deal with the club is agreed,” the German was quoted as saying by Reuters back in August.

In the end, though, Caicedo opted for Chelsea, a decision you can now question. However, it is still early days. The Ecuadorian should have opportunities to win big trophies at Stamford Bridge in the future. After all, he did sign an eight-year contract with the Blues.
