Arsenal star full of praise for Caicedo's form this term

England international Declan Rice has spoken highly of Moises Caicedo, lauding the Chelsea midfielder for his exceptional qualities on the pitch. The Arsenal star, who has faced the Ecuadorian international in both domestic and international competitions, praised Caicedo’s technical ability, hailing him as one of the standout young talents in the Premier League.

"With Moises, I've been playing against him since he was at Brighton," Rice told Sky Sports. "I was West Ham captain for two seasons and he was just coming through [into] the Brighton team.

"We had some really tough battles and I always knew and could see what a good player he is. People said last year he wasn't at his best and it took him time to settle [at Chelsea], but at the back end of the season his form was so strong," he continued.

"This season, as well, he has been unbelievable. He is showing now what he was doing at Brighton, and I think, for sure, he is another player who has handled the price tag really well. To play for a club like Chelsea is a lot of pressure, so fair play to him as well," Rice concluded.

As both Rice and Caicedo continue to excel, the praise from the Arsenal midfielder further cements the 23-year-old's growing reputation as one of the most exciting prospects in English football.
