Former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante was seen as the best in his position during his time at Chelsea.

Kante left a huge void in the Chelsea midfield, after winning both the Premier League and Champions League with the club.

Chelsea had signed up Moises Caicedo for a club record fee of £115m. The Ecuadorian international had at first struggled at the club, but has started to show why he’s worth his transfer fee.

Chelsea hero John Mikel Obi has likened Moises Caicedo to N’Golo Kante, following his stunning performance against West Ham.

“He was everywhere,” Mikel said on his podcast. “Of course, he didn’t start his Chelsea career really well and a few games into his Chelsea career, there were loads of mistakes.

“Everyone was thinking, ‘Why did we pay so much money for this guy?’ Now we can see those performances that he was performing at Brighton and stuff like that so, an absolutely fantastic player.

“Everywhere on Saturday. Not just breaking up play, trying to link up play as well, passing, everything.

“Now you can feel this is the Moises Caicedo that we all know and also when you watch him, when you look at him right now, you can see that there’s a bit of confidence there.

“There’s a bit of, ‘OK, now I’m playing for Chelsea Football Club, this is my team.’

“With the performances, with the way he behaves on the pitch, there is no sort of [ego]… Exactly!

“He’s absolutely fantastic, I watched him there, he was everywhere. It’s a bit like a Kante kind of performance.

“All credit to Moises and also for the manager to give him such confidence and to make sure that he believes in him.

“Now he’s paid off with the performances and this is the guy that I think will eventually go on to maybe, probably captain the team.”
