Jamie Redknapp names Chelsea star he thinks is “world class” after watching Man United win

Jamie Redknapp was left more than impressed by the performance of Moises Caicedo against Manchester United on Friday night.

The Blues recorded a vital 1-0 victory thanks to Marc Cucurella’s second half header, meaning their Champions League hopes are still alive.

Chelsea now need to beat Nottingham Forest on the final day of the season to guarantee a top five finish and a return to the competition they’ve won twice in their history.

Redknapp praises Caicedo

It wasn’t a great performance, but all that mattered was getting the three points, although Caicedo impressed once again.

Caicedo cleaned up at Chelsea’s end of season awards, and once again he was brilliant in the middle of the park against United.

Following the win Redknapp singled out Caicedo for praise and believes the 23-year-old is a “world class” player.

“It was the same with Caicedo,” he told Sky Sports Premier League.

“You look at Caicedo now; he looks like a world-class player. When he first came, and the team was struggling devoid of any confidence, it was very difficult for him.”
