Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has hailed Moises Caicedo for his progress since he joined the club in the summer.

The Ecuadorian has seemed more impressive for the Blues in recent matches  after overcoming his early season struggles, and Pochettino believes the best is yet to come.

He said on Friday: “Of course, it is about time. It is a player you already know from the Premier League but with no pre-season. In a situation where he was not involved for a few months. It is normal he needs time to settle in a new club.

“Even if you are happy and everything is perfect, always it is difficult but the situation that happened in the summer and now it is like pre-season.

“We are happy, we think he was really good against Fulham. Unlucky a little bit because he now needs to go on international duty and play and travel, and it is always difficult to go to South America. It doesn’t help the situation but we need to accept and try to help him in a different way.”
