Enzo Fernandez called Moises Caicedo and convinced the Ecuadorian to join Chelsea as Liverpool were also interested in signing the midfielder from Brighton
Moises Caicedo has revealed that Enzo Fernandez convinced him to turn down Liverpool in favour of a move to Chelsea.
Chelsea eventually agreed on a British record deal of up to £115m for Caicedo, who signed an eight-year contract in the process. He has since made 12 appearances in all competitions for the Blues, often partnering Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernandez in a midfield three.

I mean, the fact that a world champion was phoning you, one of the best midfielders in the world," Caicedo told Sky Sports' Big Interview, alongside Fernandez. "Receiving that call was very nice and he convinced me to come here.
"Now, I'm enjoying playing alongside him, in training as well, in rondos. We are always together. So, I'm very happy and I'm trying to do things better every day, as Enzo said, to be a good example for everyone at the club."
