Moises Caicedo admitted he couldn’t have possibly turned down Chelsea’s advances to favour Liverpool’s in the summer.
The former Brighton midfielder expressed his gratitude to staff members at Stamford Bridge for getting him through a difficult period on the South Coast amid transfer talks – a period that saw the 22-year-old suffer ‘a lot’.
“I was talking with Chelsea further then. It was impossible to say no to Chelsea because they were supporting me,” the Ecuadorian informed Sky Sports.
“This summer, I suffered a lot because it was complicated to leave Brighton. They were with me.
“Liverpool came to me but it was [too] late. I wanted to play for Chelsea. The people who work here were with me in every moment whilst I was suffering. It would have been tough to say no to Chelsea.”
The ex-Reds transfer target has yet to show his best performances in the Blue shirt following a record-breaking transfer to London.
