Caicedo delight after ‘dream’ Albion debut

-

As far as Premier League debuts go, it could not have gone much better for Moisés Caicedo.

The Ecuador internatio­nal was handed his first Premier League start in the heart of the midfield at the Emirates Stadium and Caicedo delivered a powerful and composed display. The 20-year-old was part of a midfield that included Yves Bissouma and Enock Mwepu and the trio completely dominated the Arsenal midfield.

“I feel really good on the pitch and now I am really happy for my teammates for me and my family, because we did it,” said Caicedo speaking to

BBC Sussex after the 2-1 win at the Emirates. “My family are abroad but from there they are supporting me.”

Caicedo joined Albion from Ecuador outfit Independie­nte del Valle last year and was loaned to Belgian team Beerschot. He returned in January and is now expected to play a key role in potter’s team. He added: “Playing was incredible for me because I have played in Ecuador but not like this, with this atmosphere it is incredible for me I felt really good. I want to play every week against teams like Man City, Arsenal and Man United.”
