According to Jason Cundy, there is a Chelsea player who holds more significance than Cole Palmer.

Cole Palmer is having a fantastic season with Chelsea, and it seems like he just keeps getting better. Recently, Jason Cundy shared his thoughts on the team, specifically highlighting Moises Caicedo and how important he is to manager Enzo Maresca. In fact, Cundy believes that Caicedo may even be more crucial to the team than Cole Palmer.

As we all know, Palmer was named England's Player of the Year, and it's no surprise considering the stellar performances he has been delivering for Chelsea. It's almost comical to think that Manchester City let him go just 18 months ago. While Palmer's talent continues to rise, Caicedo is also starting to prove his worth after the club spent a record amount to bring him to west London from Brighton.

Last season, Caicedo struggled under Mauricio Pochettino's management, but under Maresca's guidance, he has found his footing in a new position as a makeshift right-back. This change has allowed Maresca to use both Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez together, and it has been a game-changing decision.

Cundy shared his thoughts on Caicedo's journey, saying, "Chelsea received a lot of criticism for their spending, with people calling them 'billion pound bottle jobs.' But it was hard for anyone to deny Caicedo's performances and give him the credit he deserved." He continued to praise the midfielder, saying, "I've been talking about Caicedo for a while now, and I truly believe he is the best midfielder in the country right now."

Cundy even went on to say that he believes Caicedo is the most important player on the team, even more so than Palmer. He explained, "While some may argue that Palmer holds that title, I think Caicedo's versatility and impact on the game make him the most crucial player. Just look at the second goal we scored against Brentford - Caicedo won the ball, passed it to Enzo, and then finished the play himself. That's something we haven't seen since N'Golo Kante, not just at Chelsea, but in the entire league."

While Liverpool fans may argue that Gravenberch holds a similar role for their team, Cundy believes that Caicedo's current form is unmatched. He exclaimed, "Wow, what a player!" It's clear that Cundy has been impressed with Caicedo's recent performances and believes that he will continue to be a crucial part of Chelsea's success.
