Chelsea Keen on Signing Moises Caicedo, Says Marc Cucurella
Chelsea Football Club is determined to strengthen its midfield this summer, with Moises Caicedo being their priority target. However, their latest bid of £70 million has been rejected by Brighton. Despite this setback, Caicedo remains eager to join Chelsea, describing the club as “a very big, historic, beautiful team.” Marc Cucurella, who played alongside Caicedo at Brighton, believes that the Ecuadorian international would be a valuable addition to Chelsea’s midfield.
Cucurella, who struggled in his first season at Stamford Bridge after a £63 million move from Brighton, has expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea. He stated that he is happy at the club and is determined to do his best for the team. Cucurella also acknowledged that last season was challenging for the players, as they needed time to adapt to a new club and faced pressure due to poor results. He emphasized the importance of understanding that footballers are also normal people with personal lives and that these factors can affect their performance.
Reflecting on Chelsea’s performance last season, Cucurella highlighted the team’s lack of physicality as a key factor in their poor run of form. He emphasized the importance of physical preparation during pre-season, stating that the Premier League is a highly physical competition. Cucurella believes that staying fit and building strong relationships with teammates are crucial for success at this level.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Cucurella expressed his satisfaction with Chelsea’s pre-season preparations under manager Mauricio Pochettino. He mentioned that the team has been working hard and running a lot in training sessions to improve their physicality. Cucurella believes that having a strong bond with teammates and running for each other on the pitch are essential for success.
In conclusion, Chelsea’s pursuit of Moises Caicedo as their midfield target this summer has hit a roadblock with Brighton rejecting their £70 million bid. However, Caicedo remains keen on joining Chelsea, and his former teammate Marc Cucurella believes that he would be a valuable addition to the team. Cucurella himself is determined to stay at Chelsea and improve upon his performance from last season. He emphasized the importance of physical preparation and building strong relationships with teammates for success in the highly competitive Premier League. Chelsea fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments in the club’s pursuit of Caicedo and the upcoming season under manager Mauricio Pochettino.
