Former Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Obi believes the Chelsea midfield partnership of Moisés Caicedo, Cole Palmer, and Enzo Fernandez are the best in the Premier League.
Recall that the trio played an integral role in the team’s Europa Conference League and Club World Cup triumph this year.
In a chat with The Obi One Podcast, Mikel stated that it will be difficult for any team in the Premier League to beat the Blues in that department.
“When I look at that team and I look at Moises Caicedo and his partnership with Enzo Fernandez, what a partnership that is becoming,” Mikel Obi said the Obi One Podcast.

“Fernandez had his struggles when he came into the club, same as Caicedo. But now you can see that those two are building a great partnership in that midfield. You talk about great midfield partnerships, you talk about Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard, me and the rest of them.
“We can’t talk enough about Caicedo’s performances week in, week out, putting up 9/10, 10/10 performances. It’s so good to see Fernandez as well, starting to take his performances to the next level. It’s the consistency that we want to see.
“If you then throw in a Cole Palmer in that midfield, that midfield trio is going to be the best trio in the Premier League. I don’t see any trio in terms of midfield, that is going to beat us when it comes to that. Once Cole Palmer comes back, with Caicedo and Fernandez in midfield, for me the best trio in the Premier League,” Mikel added.
