Chelsea legend Frank Lampard says Moises Caicedo has a similar playing style to N’Golo Kante and Claude Makelele.

The 23-year-old Caicedo grabbed the spotlight after a player-of-the-match performance, capped by a spectacular goal, in Chelsea’s 2-1 triumph over the Reds at Stamford Bridge.

In a chat with the club’s website, the former England international believes Caicedo could soon belong in the same breath as Kanté and Makélélé.

“They (Kante and Makelele) were both amazing.

“I played with Maka obviously and he was a different type to N’Golo, because N’Golo could really get around, whereas Maka basically sat in front a lot.

“But I see because of the style of play, he (Caicedo) can do the Makelele break-up stuff really, really well, close down space really quickly.

“Now he’s shown last season and this, that he’s got the sort of Kante bits in his game because N’Golo could do that, could arrive at the edge of the box and score.”
