Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has explained turning down Liverpool in August.

Caicedo insists it was always going to be Chelsea as they were first to get in contact when deciding to leave Brighton.

"I chose Chelsea because I was talking with them first and then it was impossible not to choose them. They were with me, supporting me because in the summer I suffered a lot because it was complicated to leave Brighton," he said.

"They were with me. In the last moment, Liverpool called me but it was late. It was too late, you know? I wanted to play for Chelsea and the people that worked here were with me through every moment and it was tough to say no to Chelsea.

"It's Chelsea, you know. At Chelsea, you always have to win every game and if you don't, you'll feel the pressure. I've only been here for four months, everything is new for me and I think it's about time. It'll take time because I know my quality, I know my teammates and it'll be our time."
