The Rough Debut of Moisés Caicedo, the Most Expensive Premier League Signing in History

The Ecuadorian Moisés Caicedo, the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League, had a rough debut this Saturday at the Olympic Stadium in London and, in the half hour he played, practically his only contribution was committing the penalty that marked the 3 -1 for West Ham United.

Caicedo, for whom Chelsea paid 125 million, entered with half an hour ahead and after the expulsion of Aguerd, to try to lift Chelsea’s 2-1 deficit at that time.

But he was barely able to participate in the game. He had a deflected volley from the front and could not bring too much danger to Areola’s goal, nor could he contribute to cutting off the ‘Hammers’ counters.

With barely two minutes left, he capped off his debut with a blunder, coming a tackle late on Emerson and taking the West Ham full-back ahead. Referee John Brooks didn’t even hesitate and whistled a maximum penalty that Lucas Paquetá converted.

Bad start for Caicedo at Chelsea, who was not a starter due to the stress of recent weeks regarding his signing, as explained by the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino. (D)
