Chelsea midfielder, Enzo Fernandez, has said that he is honoured to play alongside his teammate, Moises Caicedo.
The Argentina international claimed that he had personally insisted for Chelsea to sign the Ecuadorian.
Fernandez described the 23-year-old is an exceptional player and a good human being.
Caicedo joined the Blues in the summer of 2023 from Brighton for a reported fee of £115 million.
The South American has now become an integral part of Chelsea’s project at Stamford Bridge.
Caicedo has played 55 of his 67 matches in a Chelsea shirt alongside Fernandez across all competitions.
The World Cup winner told Sky Sports, “Sharing the pitch with Moi is incredible. I insisted a lot that he came to Chelsea when the club went to sign him. Now he’s here, you can see he’s not a normal player.
“He is a great person as well and he brings us a lot as a team and as a team-mate. We are getting on very well. Every day we understand each other more.
“He is an exceptional player. I hope to share many years with him on the pitch here at Chelsea.”
