EPL: It’s a dream – Caicedo reveals why he chose Chelsea
New Chelsea midfielder, Moises Caicedo, has said that it was “a dream” to join the club.
Caicedo has completed a move from Brighton to Stamford Bridge for a British record transfer fee of £115 million.
The move, which was made official on Monday, puts an end to a months-long transfer saga.
However, Chelsea were faced competition for his signature. On Friday, Liverpool broke ground and agreed a £111m fee with Brighton — the first club to do so — only for the midfielder to reject a move to Anfield and instead indicating his desire to join Chelsea.
Chelsea upped their offer, with sources telling ESPN the club agreed a deal on Sunday that includes an initial £100m in guaranteed payments with a further £15m in add-ons — around half of the add-ons are described as easily achievable with the other half considerably harder to trigger.
“I am so happy to join Chelsea! I am so excited to be here at this big club and I didn’t have to think twice when Chelsea called me, I just knew I wanted to sign for the club,” Caicedo said in a statement after signing an eight-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
“It’s a dream come true to be here and I can’t wait to get started with the team.”
