Chelsea have most press-resistant player in Premier League this season per stats | OneFootball

The stats say that Chelsea actually have the most press resistant player in the Premier League this season so far.

The name might surprise a few people as well, because it’s not a player like Enzo Fernandez or Reece James who gets the mention here, it’s more of one of your unsung names that you may not expect.

Sources: Chelsea not in talks to sign Serie A star but there ARE developments in one key position!

Moises Caicedo is known for his tackling and intercepting – he is the best midfielder in the world out there right now who does this, in my opinion.

But he is also keeping the ball very well and rarely giving it away, especially when under a high intensity press. But don’t take my word for it, have a look at the stats…

Caicedo’s numbers

As reported by Sky Sports, Moises Caicedo has the best pass success rate under high-intensity pressure in the Premier League this season.

But as I said above, it is his ball winning that he is know for and is one of the best around at it.

Caicedo in the Premier League this season:

He’s just been incredible now for quite some time and is the most consistent player in a Chelsea shirt for the last couple of seasons.

Big battle this weekend

Paul Merson has billed this weekend’s game between Chelsea and Arsenal as the battle between Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.

He said:

“This game will also witness the battle of Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice, two of the best midfielders in the world. I can’t wait to watch that battle! It will also be interesting to see what team Maresca will play. Could he be tempted into using a false nine like he did against Barcelona? Arsenal are better at the back, but I just think Chelsea can get a point.”
