The midfielder opted for a move to\u00a0Chelsea, who succeeded with a bid after seeing multiple offers rejected earlier in the window.<\/p>\n<p>Caicedo took a while to show his best form for the Blues, but ended his debut campaign registering one goal and four assists in 48 appearances, becoming one of the more reliable figures in\u00a0their squad.<\/p>\n<p>He has now taken the time to reflect on his first season as well as the decision to choose Chelsea over\u00a0Liverpool.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j4kdf1zp7fwvdmz371.jpg\" alt=\"Chelsea FC v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League\" title=\"Chelsea FC v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Caicedo became an important part of Chelsea\u2019s squad \/ Gaspafotos\/MB Media\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cIt was a difficult decision because you know Liverpool is a big team,\u201d he said. \u201cBut Chelsea were with me for a couple of months and I felt like I couldn\u2019t miss this move. They were with me in tough times when Brighton didn\u2019t want to let me go. It was a difficult decision, but 100% the right one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the beginning [at Chelsea] it was tough for me. With the price, I always had to win. The pressure at Brighton was less. But I got used to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can say Mauricio and his staff, they were with me every step. They helped me show my quality, and I also have a person outside the club who helps me handle the pressure. I felt a lot of pressure because of the club\u2019s history. But after the last four or five months, I felt more comfortable at the club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caicedo featured in Chelsea\u2019s 4-2 pre-season defeat to\u00a0Manchester City\u00a0on Saturday but was unable to make a difference as Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick.
