Ex-England striker claims Moises Caicedo 'not better' than 22-year-old Liverpool star

Moises Caicedo has been one of Chelsea's best players this season, finally going some way to justifying the British record fee the Blues paid to sign him from Brighton two years ago.

The 23-year-old has been impressive at the heart of Chelsea's midfield, especially since Romeo Lavia returned to the side, allowing him that extra freedom to operate in a box-to-box role.

Another player who's also flourishing after a shaky first season is Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch.

The 22-year-old has been an ever-present for an Arne Slot side that is top of the league table after 10 games.

Interestingly, Darren Bent believes Gravenberch is ahead of Caicedo at the moment.

Bent told talkSPORT: “I’m a big Caicedo fan. He got off to a slow start.

"If you’re talking about right now, he’s not better than Gravenberch.

I’ll give you him over Declan [Rice] right now, but not Gravenberch - he’s been incredible.”
