Chelsea Moises Caicedo reveals the secret behind his breakout season in the Premier League

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.
