Moises Caicedo has been the standout figure for Chelsea this season and their best player in the Premier League. The Ecuadorian continues to receive recognition at his club, and now even a legend like Eden Hazard dedicated some words to him.

Hazard was asked about Moises Caicedo, and the Belgian did not hesitate to name him as the best. In a rapid-fire question round, the former Real Madrid player revealed that the Ecuadorian is now the "best player in the Premier League at the moment," commented the Belgian.

This is not the first time such high-level recognition has come for Moises Caicedo; however, the Ecuadorian has not yet been able to win that "award" that would confirm him worldwide as one of the best. He has come close to a major accolade both locally and internationally.

This season in the Chelsea shirt, Moises Caicedo is also having his most prolific scoring season. The Ecuadorian has been sustaining the club in a season where they are aiming to win the FA Cup and pull off a surprise in the Champions League.

Hazard is an authoritative voice at Chelsea and, for many fans, is the club's biggest star of the last decade. Hence, his recognition of Moises Caicedo carries significant weight internally. 'Niño Moi' is also one of the club's most expensive signings.

So far this season with Chelsea, Moises Caicedo, 24, has played a total of 32 matches, accumulating over 2,600 minutes. The Ecuadorian has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist. Currently, Chelsea is in fifth place with 39 points and would qualify for the Champions League.

Furthermore, the midfielder solidified himself this Saturday as the anchor of Chelsea, providing a solid presence in the 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.

Although his teammate Cole Palmer grabbed the headlines with a first-half hat-trick, Caicedo's statistics reflected his crucial role as the engine of the London side. The Ecuadorian, 24, finished the match with an 8.0 rating, standing out for his ball distribution and defensive work.

Whenever Caicedo has come very close to competing for an award like best midfielder, players like Declan Rice or even Jude Bellingham have placed ahead of him. For many, this is an injustice given the Ecuadorian's high level.
