Caicedo names two Chelsea stars that inspired him

Chelsea’s latest signing, Moises Caicedo, is set to help bolster the Blues midfielder this season.

In a recent statement, Caicedo opened up on the two Chelsea legends who were his ‘inspiration’ growing up after completing his record transfer to Stamford Bridge.

Recall that Chelsea on Monday evening announced the signing of Caicedo from Brighton in a deal worth £115million – a British transfer record.

The Ecuadorian star penned an eight-year contract with Chelsea, including an option of a further year.

Speaking after joining Chelsea, Caicedo named Claude Makelele and N’Golo Kante as his inspirations.

“Makelele and Kante were an inspiration to me, “Caicedo told Chelsea’s website.

“They were so humble on the pitch. I think I can say we share similar qualities, but they were better. But now I am going to give everything for this club because they did so much for me.”

He is likely to be available when Chelsea take on West Ham in their next EPL match this weekend.
