Moises Caicedo caught the attention of Jason Cundy with a standout moment during Chelsea’s London derby against Brentford. The Ecuadorian midfielder showcased his incredible vision and passing ability early in the first half, delivering a stunning long ball over the top to Nicolas Jackson.
Although Jackson couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity, the pass left Cundy, who was commentating for Chelsea’s official website, thoroughly impressed. He described it as a “brilliant pass” and praised its precision and length, calling it “raking” and “straight as well.”
Caicedo, a crucial part of Enzo Maresca’s lineup this season, has started every Premier League match, consistently proving his worth. While his reputation as one of the best ball-winning midfielders in the league remains intact, his passing skills have added another layer to his game.
Evolving Beyond a Tackling Specialist
Known for his ability to dominate defensively, Caicedo’s numbers from last season—2.6 tackles per game, the second-best in Chelsea’s squad per WhoScored—highlight his strength in reclaiming possession. This season, he’s complemented that skill with effective passing and moments of brilliance, such as the stunning volley he scored in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United last month.
Now considered the complete midfielder, his £115m price tag seems a distant concern as fans and pundits focus on his exceptional contributions.
Up Next: A Tough Test at Goodison Park
Caicedo and Chelsea now turn their attention to a tricky fixture against Everton at Goodison Park. Sean Dyche’s side recently held Arsenal to a draw, demonstrating their defensive resilience. Adding to Chelsea’s challenge is their poor recent record at Goodison, where they lost 2-0 last season.
The stage is set for another test of Caicedo’s growing influence as the Blues aim to continue their strong run of form in the Premier League.
