Craig Burley believes the Liverpool man must now regret his move after failing to sign last summer.
TheReds have agreed a £111m fee to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton (BBC Sport) ahead of the Premier League season, with the 22-year-old opting for a £115m move to Chelsea (The Guardian). . But the Ecuador international has had a disappointing first five months at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues dropping to 10th in the table.
He also failed to match Hayden Hackney’s tally in last night’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Middlesbrough, leading to the only goal of the game. Burley told ESPN FC: “Brighton’s Moises Caicedo looked like a £100m player. He was a good player at Brighton. Arsenal want him.
“Chelsea” and “Liverpool” wanted him. Chelsea has it.”He should have gone to Liverpool or Arsenal, not Chelsea. That’s another story. At this point, he took a wrong step. “There are no signs of change.”Liverpool ended their failed pursuit of Caicedo in the final month of the summer transfer window, signing Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenburch for £50m, with the former proving to be a key player for Jurgen Klopp’s side in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, the £150,000-a-week Ecuadorian (Capology) can keep United top of the Premier League and give themselves the chance to win four trophies this season with a win over Fulham tonight that take a step closer to one.
. In the Carabao Cup.With the chance to turn back the clock to August, one wonders if the 22-year-old would have accepted a big-money offer from LFC rather than West London.
