Newcastle striker Wilson claims this Chelsea star is not worth £100m

Newcastle United forward, Callum Wilson has claimed that Moises Caicedo isn’t worth the fee Chelsea paid for him.

Chelsea reached a £115m agreement with Brighton to get Caicedo to Stamford Bridge over the summer, but Wilson insists he may be worth far less.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s Carabao Cup quarter final clash between Chelsea and Newcastle, Wilson told the BBC’s Footballers’ Podcast: “How many midfielders do they want? Let’s put this into context.

“Caicedo, I have not really seen much of him in midfield. We played against Brighton and he played at right-back against us. But for the price that he’s cost, you could get [Sandro] Tonali and [Bruno] Guimaraes and still have change to buy me, probably! £20million gets you me!”

“That’s how the money is going crazy,” added the £13million-rated striker. “It’s probably just because it’s Premier League to Premier League. If he was coming in from somewhere else, like what Brighton did, you are buying him for £4m. You are making over £100m profit, it’s crazy.”
