Maresca hails “fantastic” Caicedo as Chelsea prepare midfielder’s contract extension

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca couldn’t hide his admiration for Moises Caicedo, describing the Ecuadorian as “fantastic” after his standout performances this season.

According to Sky Sports News, Chelsea are reviewing Caicedo’s terms with a possible adjustment to reflect his growing importance in the squad.

The 24-year-old, currently tied to the club until 2033, could be rewarded with an improved package to match his elite-level displays.

Maresca, speaking on Sky Sports’ One on One podcast, was full of praise for the midfielder’s impact and attitude.

“He’s doing well. He’s progressing. He’s improving every day,” the Italian said.

“He’s open-minded and wants to learn, and he’s helping his team-mates in every game.”

The gaffer also highlighted Caicedo’s intensity and work rate, referencing his crucial role in the Blues’ high-pressing system.

“The goal we scored against Tottenham, he was pressing inside the box because it’s the way we try to press, high press, immediately our reaction to losing the ball. He’s doing fantastic.

“In this moment, him and Rodri are the two best defensive midfielders.”

With performances like these, it’s no surprise the Blues are ready to reflect his value both on and off the pitch. The midfielder’s engine keeps the London giants ticking, and under Maresca’s guidance, his stock continues to soar.
