Moises Caicedo: Graham Potter on how Chelsea are now seeing best of £100m midfielder

You never know for sure how a young player will do in the first team. All you can go off is what you see every day in training, and how he is as a person.

By that I mean how he can handle pressure, and deal with disappointment and setbacks, because those are the things that get challenged constantly in the Premier League.

Moises deserves great credit for the way he has come through all of those things, at Brighton and now at Chelsea, to be playing at the level he is currently at.

The fact that he has captained Chelsea already this season, in the Europa Conference League against Servette, says a lot about his mentality and tells you what people within the building think of him as a person.

That side of things does not surprise me at all, because I know what he is like and how he plays his football.

When people talk about team players, well, that’s Moises – he just wants to do the best he can for his team. Of course he is a better player when the team is functioning well, but he will make everyone else better too.

He is not the guy who is going to dribble past 10 players, or try something flash.

He is physical, he wins the ball for you and he keeps things simple when he has got it, although he has got quality too – look at the through ball he played for Nicolas Jackson to score against West Ham a couple of weeks ago.

The impact he has in the team goes beyond most of the stats that are shown for midfielders, because they don’t wholly reflect his role and influence on the team.

You can use those binary measurements, like tackles made, distance run or sprints and it tells you one thing about him – but not everything.
