Mauricio Pochettino explains why 'emotional' Moises Caicedo is yet to hit top form for Chelsea

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has said it is "unfair" to judge record signing Moises Caicedo before the " emotional " midfielder has had time to process the summer transfer saga. The Blues beat Liverpool to Caicedo's signature in the summer after outbidding their rivals, taking the overall price to £115m and breaking their own British record amount – the £107m paid for Enzo Fernandez in January – to complete the deal. Caicedo has been a regular starter but is yet to produce the form that had made him so desirable at former club Brighton & Hove Albion. Pochettino insists Chelsea knew this would happen but have the faith in the 22-year-old to eventually come good with patience and time. "When we signed him, we knew what is going to happen. He's an emotional guy, an emotional player that needs time to recover," Pochettino explained.
