Moises Caicedo set to sign new Chelsea deal, Levi Colwill next in line

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has reaffirmed his commitment to the club by agreeing to a new contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2033, The Times reports.

The Blues forked out a British record £115 million to sign Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023, and he has since morphed into one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.

Caicedo’s contract renewal comes at a time of unrest at Chelsea, with the supporters clamouring for clarity on the club’s direction.

Four years on since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Consortium bought the club, Chelsea are yet to show any signs of being ready to challenge for major honours.

Enzo Maresca is the only manager to have brought silverware to the club, having won the Club World Cup and the Europa Conference League.

However, his shocking departure earlier in the season derailed the club’s progress and sparked outrage from a fan base already sceptical of the new owners.

By pledging his allegiance to Chelsea, Caicedo has given the new project a vote of confidence and joins captain Reece James in committing to a new long-term contract with improved wages.
