Ray Parlour believes that Brighton’s Moises Caicedo would be an amazing signing for Chelsea this summer.
Moises Caicedo, who’s just 21, lit up the Premier League last season with his eye-catching performances in Brighton colours.
The Ecuador international is a no-nonsense defensive midfielder with so much quality on and off the ball, which is why it’s no real surprise he’s linked with a high-profile transfer in this summer window.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on YouTube this week that Chelsea and Brighton have been in talks now for several days regarding Caicedo’s potential transfer to Stamford Bridge. The South American midfielder has agreed personal terms with the Blues, who are trying to negotiate a transfer for around £70million plus £10millions in add-ons
TalkSPORT pundit Parlour has admitted that he’s a big admirer of Brighton’s rising star.
He feels like Caicedo would be a massive addition to the Chelsea ranks next season.
“Lots of clubs will be interested in him (Caicedo) because he’s a top player,” Parlour told talkSPORT.
“They (Chelsea) are a bit light on midfield. For me, if they get Caicedo, that puts them in a very good position.”
We agree that Caicedo could be a real game-changer in the Blues line-up.
Chelsea lacked real athleticism in the centre of the park last season when N’Golo Kante was missing, which was most of the time due to injury. Now, the legendary Frenchman has left the club this summer on a permanent basis.
Therefore, Mauricio Pochettino’s side is crying out for a new mobile midfielder to join the side.
On paper, Caicedo is exactly what Chelsea need to reenergise their midfield. We love the idea of his energy next to the guile of Enzo Fernandez, too.
