Moises Caicedo has been one of the obvious shining lights at Chelsea's during the opening few months of the 2024/25 campaign.

Despite some big criticism during his first season as a Chelsea player last year, Moises Caicedo is now showing during his second term why he cost PS115m to sign from Brighton.

The 23-year-old central midfielder has started every Premier League match so far this season, even captaining the Blues a couple of times.

When reflecting on the best players so far this year, Alan Shearer named Chelsea's Caicedo in his Premier League Team of the Season. The Ecuador international now looks so settled at Stamford Bridge and it's hard to see a reason why his levels would drop now.

Win 50+ duels Win possession 50+ times Make 30+ tackles Complete 500+ passes It's the perfect demonstration above of how Caicedo has been performing as a complete midfielder in Chelsea's XI this season. In particular, it really helps his overall game when he's got deep-lying playmaker Romeo Lavia sat alongside him, which does give him a bit more licence to roam.

Chelsea insiders believe Maresca views Caicedo as undroppable. It would be a fair standpoint based off the individual's displays recenty.
