BlueCo ownership can point to commitment of Caicedo
Jan Paul van Hecke and Alex Scott are players of interest
Moisés Caicedo has handed Chelsea a major boost after verbally agreeing a new deal with the club.
The midfielder has been a star performer since his £115m move from Brighton in 2023 and his decision to extend his current deal represents a show of faith in the Chelsea project after a turbulent period, with the club rocked by Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella using recent interviews to question the direction of travel at Stamford Bridge.
An agreement has been thrashed out in principle with Caicedo and follows on from Reece James, another of Chelsea’s most important players, extending his contract last month. Chelsea’s BlueCo ownership can point to the commitment of Caicedo, who captained the side against Manchester City last weekend, and James as evidence of unity in the dressing room before a fan protest against the board before the visit of Manchester United on Saturday. An announcement on Caicedo’s agreement is expected to arrive before the weekend.
