Liverpool tried to make a late move for Caicedo with a bid, but the midfielder decided to hang on to his boots and join Chelsea. But in the battle between the two Premier League giants, Brighton benefited from the sale price rising to £115 million ($144 million).
What Glen Johnson said Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson questioned the price and believed Caicedo did not live up to the “hype”. In an interview with Betfred, he said: “He’s a very good player but I don’t think he’ll be able to live up to the hype when Liverpool and Chelsea are fighting for him and people are talking about him. I think what Liverpool did here cost Chelsea a lot more money and I don’t think that’s great.”He is a good player. Was it worth the price? Not. Brighton only had one chance to sell him so they tried to ride the hype to get as much money as possible for him but for me he didn’t live up to the hype. “I’d still say it’s a good signing, but not at this price.” Johnson was equally under whelmed by Mykhailo Mudric, who joined Chelsea for £89m after beating Arsenal. He appeared poorly in front of goal, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 Premier League games.”
Unfortunately, given his quality, I have to say I’m disappointed. “For a player with speed and energy, I don’t think he uses it,” he said, much more than that. I feel like I have it all, but now I don’t have a finished product, so I’m frustrated. We expected him to score a few goals and strike, but he scored a few goals and still didn’t score. “Overall, he was disappointed.
What’s next for Chelsea? Chelsea lost 4:1 to Newcastle United in their last match and are 12th in the tournament table. They will look to regain their form against Sheffield United on Saturday.
