Moises Caicedo is establishing himself as one of the top midfielders in the English Premier League, according to renowned football expert Gary Neville. Since his transfer to Chelsea for a staggering £115 million, the Ecuadorian has begun to meet high expectations. Caicedo has played every minute of Chelsea's Premier League campaign, scoring three goals, surpassing his total from the previous two seasons with the club.

Jamie Carragher, another well-known analyst, acknowledges Caicedo's rise but maintains that Arsenal's Declan Rice remains the superior midfielder, citing Rice's better ball control and overall play. However, statistics show Caicedo excels defensively, leading the league in interceptions, recoveries, and duels won.

While not a leading chance creator, Caicedo's passing accuracy and ability to control the game's tempo make him a key figure in Enzo Maresca's squad, drawing comparisons to N'Golo Kante for his versatility and impact. Despite impressive performances from players like Declan Rice and Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, Caicedo remains a standout name in the league.
