Scouting Report & Player Insights
Moisés Caicedo is a combative Ecuadorian defensive midfielder at Chelsea, prized for his ball-winning ability, relentless pressing and coverage of ground across the pitch. Since arriving from Brighton in a British-record deal for a midfielder, he has become a defensive cornerstone in Enzo Maresca's setup, screening the back line while progressing possession with tidy short passing. He is less a creative playmaker than a destroyer and tempo-controller, excelling at interceptions, tackles and recycling the ball quickly under pressure.
Moved from Brighton to Chelsea in 2023 for a fee that made him one of the most expensive midfielders in football history.
Rose through Independiente del Valle's academy in Ecuador before his breakout at Brighton.
