Following his big money move to Chelsea during the summer transfer window, Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo will be ‘scrutinised’ more often than he was at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Dean Jones is concerned that Caicedo has been failing to come away with the ball after competing in 50/50 challenges and also playing misplaced passes during the early stages of his Chelsea career.

The transfer insider has warned that the former Independiente del Valle talent will come under fire from supporters and pundits quickly as more is expected of him after the Blues splashed the cash.

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “There have been quite a few times when there have been 50/50 challenges that he’s come second best on.

“There’s been a couple of times when there have been loose balls he’s been playing that you wouldn’t expect from a player that’s cost this much money.

“Unfortunately for him, he’s going to be scrutinised in a different way now to how he ever was at Brighton. There were moments at Brighton where if he played a loose ball or a moment passed him by, you’d let it go.

“But that’s not going to happen at Chelsea because of the intensity of the big spend that they’ve had and the expectation that there is for them to do something this season, whether it’s top four or winning a trophy.”
