Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed confidence in Moises Caicedo’s ability to rank among the Premier League’s top holding midfielders, comparing him to stars like Rodri and Declan Rice. 

Speaking earlier in December, Maresca praised the Ecuadorian’s progress this season:

“He is for sure now at that level, no doubt,” Maresca stated.

“Unfortunately, Rodri is injured, but Declan is playing. But I think Moises can sit at that table with that kind of midfielder.”

Caicedo’s performances under Maresca have solidified his reputation as one of the league’s rising stars, and Chelsea will hope his influence continues when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. 

The Blues will look to return to winning ways in what promises to be a crucial fixture.
