Moises Caicedo is excited to be joining this season's Chelsea team.

The former Brighton midfielder completed his British record 115m move to Chelsea yesterday.

After seeing Chelsea draw with Liverpool on Sunday from his London hotel, Caicedo told the club's website: "I watched the game at the hotel, and I supported the players from there.

"The team was so good. I enjoyed it a lot. The new Chelsea players did really well. I wanted to be on the pitch with them! I like the style of football, it's good for me. I am sure I am going to adapt very quickly.

"I don't hope, I am sure we are going to win a lot of titles with this amazing club, to put Chelsea where they deserve to be."

Caicedo admits he's happy sharing his move with his family.

"My family is the most important thing," he acknowledges.

"They are everything for me. It is amazing to share this moment with my Mum, and my girlfriend. I am even happier to be here with them.

"They are there for me in bad moments, and that's why in the good moments I like to be with them. They have always supported me in every step. That's amazing for me. They are always on my mind, even in every training session and every game. I'm a humble guy who always wants the best for his family.

"I also know there are a lot of kids in Ecuador behind me.

"I have to be an example for them. I want to represent my country in the best way I can. The people there support me. They wear my shirt. They are an inspiration as well to keep working hard."
