Mikel believes Caicedo has the potential to become Chelsea's captain in the future.

The recent match between Chelsea and West Ham had all eyes on Moises Caicedo, who delivered a stellar performance and played a crucial role in Chelsea's 3-0 victory. John Obi Mikel, a former Chelsea midfielder, praised Caicedo's growth and even predicted that he will one day become the captain of the club.

Caicedo's journey at Chelsea has not been an easy one, especially after the club spent a whopping £100million on him last summer. The 22-year-old struggled in his debut season, and many questioned if he was worth the hefty price tag. However, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Caicedo has shown tremendous improvement and has become a key player for the team.

In the match against West Ham, Caicedo's performance was top-notch, and he was a strong contender for the man-of-the-match award. It was only Nicolas Jackson's exceptional display that denied him the title. As Chelsea prepares to face Brighton this weekend, Maresca might consider resting Caicedo for the mid-week Carabao Cup match against Barrow, given his all-action display against West Ham.

Obi Mikel, while speaking on The Obi One Podcast, commended Caicedo's recent performances and noted that he has become a vital player for Chelsea. He also mentioned that in the future, Caicedo might even take on the role of captain for the club. Mikel also attributed Caicedo's growth to Maresca's coaching and the confidence he has instilled in the young player.

The former Chelsea midfielder is impressed with Maresca's start as the club's manager and is optimistic about the team's future under him. He believes that Maresca is building something special at Chelsea and has brought back a sense of excitement and hope among the supporters. Mikel is also pleased with the team's depth and quality, with even the players coming off the bench being able to make a significant impact.

Sitting at fifth place in the Premier League table, Chelsea is currently in a good position, and Mikel feels that the team can now compete with the big clubs without getting overwhelmed. He credits Maresca for the team's improved style of play, both on and off the ball, and believes that the team is playing some of the best football at the moment. As a Chelsea fan, Mikel is thrilled to see the team's progress and is looking forward to more exciting matches in the future.
