Claude Makelele, a legend of Chelsea, has stated that Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caciedo will be considered for next year’s Ballon d’Or if he simply keeps up his current performance. Over the last 18 months, Caciedo has proven that he is worth the £115 million Chelsea paid to acquire him from Brighton in 2023. He won the Blues Player of the Year award last season after starting all 38 Premier League games for Chelsea, helped Enzo Maresca’s team win the Europa Conference League, the Fifa Club World Cup, and the Champions League.Both commentators and supporters praised him on his performance against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. Enzo Maresca, the manager of Chelsea, and Jamie Redknapp, a former midfielder for Liverpool, both think he is one of the top two midfielders in the world right now. Also, a former France international from Makelele thinks the midfielder will soon become the world’s best player. Makelele told Metro, “I’m not surprised because I was around Chelsea when he came to England and I spoke with him. I like this boy, I like this boy.” He possesses talent, strength, and excellent tactical skills. He is capable of leading this team because he is so good. “This is very important, and if he continues, I think he can also compete for the Ballon d’Or next year because he is such a good player.”
