Caicedo admits feeling pressure of £115 million price tag

Moises Caicedo has admitted that he felt pressured by his massive £115 million price tag upon completing the move to Chelsea from Brighton.

"At the beginning, I felt the pressure," admits Caicedo. "In my mind, I wanted to show my best football and why the club paid the money for me.

"After that, I started to speak with people who helped me understand that if Chelsea signed me it’s because I am worth it. I have kept on playing and I know I have to show my best on the pitch.

"Of course, I haven’t played every game well and it was tough at the beginning, but now I feel good and feel I am helping the team. I am only thinking about the game and not what people are saying about me."

Caicedo has been a crucial part of the games that Chelsea have played well in but his price tag often draws unwarranted criticism from pundits and rival fans.
