Caicedo lost 'confidence' over pressure of £115m price tag

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo says his first season at the club was "tough" and he lost confidence because of the pressure of his £115m price tag.

The Ecuadorian, 22, joined the Blues from Brighton last August for a £100m fee that could rise to a British club record £115m following a bidding war involving Liverpool.

He scored one goal and registered four assists in 48 games in his debut season as Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League, with manager Mauricio Pochettino leaving in May.

"The beginning was tough for me, because you are at a big club, the price, you always have to win every game," Caicedo said.
