Chelsea supporters have been waiting to see Moises Caicedo fully unleash his potential - and this year, the Ecuadorian star is doing exactly that.

The surprising spark behind his newfound attacking confidence? A message that followed him from South America all the way to Stamford Bridge:
"Shoot on target." That's the advice his father drilled into him as a kid - and now, Caicedo is using it to become one of Chelsea's most impactful players this season.

From defensive engine to scoring threat
Known primarily as a ball-winning midfielder, Caicedo has expanded his game in a big way. With four goals across all competitions, he's already doubled his previous best scoring output in England - and has become Chelsea's joint-top scorer this season.

The 24-year-old says every time the ball hits the back of the net, he immediately thinks of home. "My dad always said I have to shoot on target because I have a lot of possibilities to score goals," Caicedo explained. "I tried to listen to my dad - that's why now I'm shooting. When I score, I remember him. It's because of him."
His confidence was on full display in Chelsea's 1-0 derby win over Tottenham, where he dominated midfield and set up the game's lone goal.
A journey fueled by sacrifice and growth
Caicedo's rise hasn't come easy. When he arrived in England in 2021 to join Brighton, he was alone - separated from his family in Ecuador for the first time in his life. "It was very tough when I came here," Caicedo said. "But now I'm living a dream."
After a blockbuster move to Chelsea two years later, the midfielder continues to approach the game with humility and hunger: "Every day I want to improve because you never stop learning... I'm doing fantastic, but I need to improve in every training and every match."
Caicedo's emergence has helped spark a turnaround for Chelsea, who have lost just once in their last eight matches across all competitions while stringing together key Premier League wins. With Wolves coming to Stamford Bridge this weekend, momentum - and confidence - is building.
