Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has been complimenting Moises Caicedo this weekend after one other advantageous efficiency towards West Ham. However he’s refusing to be drawn an excessive amount of into the N’Golo Kante comparisons but.
Chelsea followers had been evaluating Caicedo to N’Golo Kante following his glorious show towards West Ham.
Nonetheless, Nevin doesn’t assume he’s there but, however he was providing some compliments to the midfielder all the identical.
On Caicedo, Nevin informed talkSPORT: “He has began his recreation once more. He wins issues, he’s onerous to beat, he isn’t N’Golo Kante, however he’s good at killing any form of fast breaks, sure, however any time there’s a tight move within the midfield, he’s zipping in there as nicely.
“So all that form of stuff that he’s type of good at, he’s displaying he’s good at. He isn’t going to attain 10 screamers from outdoors the field yearly, you aren’t wanting that, you aren’t anticipating that, you didn’t pay £100 million for that.”
Proper now, the Ecuador worldwide is averaging 4.2 tackles per recreation within the Premier League, which is unimaginable.
Caicedo made 8 tackles throughout the West Ham match, which was essentially the most within the recreation.
He additionally gained essentially the most duels (13) within the recreation and had an 87% move succession charge.
One other former Chelsea participant Jason Cundy had this to say on Caicedo’s efficiency on Saturday:
“I believed Caicedo was good at present [Saturday]. You might be beginning to see why we paid a lot cash. And it’s onerous to reside as much as a £100 million-plus price ticket as a result of he isn’t that participant that catches the attention.
“Whenever you pay £100 million, you wish to see like [Erling] Haaland, don’t you, Harry Kane, however truly at present in the course of the park, challenges, and the move for Jackson was lovely.”
Lastly, Caicedo’s function is turning into much less and fewer ‘unsung’, and sticking with the music reference (sing, sung, unsung), Caicedo is now turning into the headline act.
Granted, he took a while to settle in at Chelsea which is pure. He was buzzing to affix our membership and you can sense that he knew how huge it was to make that transfer and underneath such a giant price ticket. I believe that every one initially effected him a bit, simply the sheer dimension of the transfer he simply made.
However now he’s feeling extra like he belongs right here and he’s backing his means to turn into a vastly vital participant for us, and he’s actually displaying some high quality and consistency now, which is essential.
Caicedo has been an enormous a part of our good outcomes currently. You want gamers like him to verify we may be steady on the again in addition to devastating in assault.
I see a assured Caicedo coming collectively now and the Kante comparisons are clearly going to be there as a result of they’re each glorious at breaking apart play and intercepting. I all the time backed the signing of Caicedo, and I do assume he can have the identical type of impact that Kante had at our membership down the road.
