Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has issued a challenge to Moises Caicedo, who has caught his eye this season.<\/p>\n

Lampard<\/a> can see similarities between the 23-year-old and former Chelsea<\/a> stars N\u2019Golo Kante<\/a> and Claude Makelele.<\/p>\n

However, there are still a couple more things that the retired England international would like to see him do.<\/p>\n

According to Lampard\u2019s ex-Three Lions teammate Gary Neville, Caicedo is the best midfielder in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After joining Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023, Caicedo<\/a> had a tough settling-in period.<\/p>\n

He eventually adapted and has been one of Chelsea\u2019s most consistent performers ever since, and Lampard has now urged him to continue showing consistency while helping the Blues to win trophies.<\/p>\n

Comparing the Ecuadorian to Kante and Makelele on talkSPORT<\/a>, the Coventry City manager said: \u201cThey (Kante and Makelele) were both amazing. I played with Maka obviously and he was a different type to N\u2019Golo, because N\u2019Golo could really get around, whereas Maka basically sat in front a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I see because of the style of play, he (Caicedo) can do the Makelele break-up stuff really, really well, close down space really quickly. Now he\u2019s shown last season and this, that he\u2019s got the sort of Kante bits in his game because N\u2019Golo could do that, could arrive at the edge of the box and score.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he\u2019s got to do now is just turn out consistently for the next season and hopefully try and win things with Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caicedo has already managed to bag a couple of major honours at Chelsea, winning both the Club World Cup<\/a> and Conference League<\/a> last term.<\/p>\n

After the amount of money that Chelsea spent on the likes of Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, though, critics think the Blues should be competing for the Premier League<\/a> title and Champions League<\/a> trophy.<\/p>\n

If members of Enzo Maresca<\/a>\u2018s squad stop getting sent off, David James thinks Chelsea can fight for the title<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

The fee that Chelsea paid to sign Caicedo from Brighton was \u00a3115m, which was really scrutinised at the time.<\/p>\n

Not much is said about it now, with former Manchester United and England goalkeeper Ben Foster<\/a> claiming that the Ecuador international is \u201cworth every penny\u201d.<\/p>\n

When Foster discussed Caicedo<\/a> on his YouTube channel earlier this week, he said: \u201cCaicedo, fantastic. Worth every penny, I\u2019d say\u2026 Do you know what\u2019s interesting actually? Of the \u00a3100m players that have been bought in the Premier League, Caicedo is probably the only one really where you go, \u2018Yeah, he\u2019s worth that\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that he is adding goals to his game, Chelsea fans will not disagree with Foster. Many did not to begin with.<\/p>\n

Caicedo\u2019s goal against Liverpool was his third of the season. Last term, the ex-Brighton man managed just one in the Premier League, so it is an area where he has definitely improved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has issued a challenge to Moises Caicedo, who has caught his eye this season.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[63696,446,119820,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-209215","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-frank-lampard","9":"tag-moises-caicedo","10":"tag-ngolo-kante","11":"tag-soccer","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
