After Moises Caicedo performance against Bournemouth Chelsea fans are all saying the same thing about him

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo scored his first goal for the Blues in spectacular fashion against Bournemouth.
A Memorable Strike
The ball reached Caicedo at the halfway line, and with Neto out of position, the 22-year-old launched an incredible shot into the back of the net. This goal symbolized Caicedo’s recent resurgence in form. Following his high-profile transfer from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer, which made him Chelsea’s most expensive signing ever, the Ecuadorian faced significant criticism for his initial performances.
A Turnaround in Form
Lately, however, Caicedo has been outstanding for Chelsea. In the Blues’ 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest earlier this month, he made three interceptions, the highest in the game, as noted by WhoScored.
Fan Reaction to Caicedo’s Goal
Caicedo’s late goal against Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth is easily one of the season’s best. Chelsea fans were ecstatic, and after the goal, the Stamford Bridge crowd could be heard chanting “shoot” every time Caicedo got the ball, as reported by journalist Bobby Vincent on X.
Looking Ahead to Next Season
With a full season at Chelsea behind him, Caicedo is expected to show more consistency in the 2024/25 campaign.
Evaluating Caicedo’s £115m Transfer Fee
Chelsea paid a club-record £115 million to sign Caicedo from Brighton. Given that his peak form has come only recently, it’s challenging to argue that he has justified his hefty price tag within just one season. However, such a significant fee was never likely to be validated in a single year.
If Caicedo continues to perform at this level throughout his lengthy contract with Chelsea, discussions about his transfer fee will likely diminish, with more focus on his contributions on the pitch rather than the cost of his acquisition from the Amex Stadium.
