Moises Caicedo has expressed his admiration for Chelsea legend N’Golo Kante following comparisons made by fans after Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Brentford.

The Ecuadorian midfielder, who has steadily grown into a pivotal role under Enzo Maresca, spoke openly about how much Kante has inspired his game.

“He is my idol, everyone knows this,” Caicedo admitted. “As I’ve said before, I just try to help the team and my teammates.”

Reflecting on Kante’s impact at the club, Caicedo said, “He [Kante] was a very big player for Chelsea. I always watched videos of him and now I try to give my best.”
