Chelsea midfielder, Moises Caicedo has revealed that French stars N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba were his idols in football.
Caicedo said the shirts of Pogba and Kante are so special to him.
Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League home game with Sheffield United on Saturday, Caicedo said he loved watching the duo.
“N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba were my idols in football. “I loved watching them,” Caicedo said.
“Playing in my neighbourhood, I would play with my brother’s friends. It was amazing because they were older, so I learnt a lot from them.
“Meeting N’Golo Kante – it was amazing. I was at Brighton, on the bench. I think it was 1-1. After the game, I ran straight to Kante to swap shirts. He said ‘Yes, of course’.
“He was very kind to me. It was an incredible moment for me because I met my idol.
“It was the same with Paul Pogba and I swapped shirts with him. I have the shirts back in Ecuador. Nobody can take the shirts away. They are so special to me.”
