Marc Cucurella has heaped praise on Chelsea duo Moises Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson, describing the pair as important parts of Enzo Maresca's side.

Maresca found disliked the distractions the transfer window brought but will be satisfied with the way Chelsea trimmed their squad

In November, he suggested that Jamie Vardy was the best English striker of his generation, better even than Wayne Rooney or Harry Kane. He also claimed that League One side Barrow and then a doomed Southampton were the “worst” possible opponents for his Chelsea side, who went on to score five in both games.
