Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit slams Caicedo and Lavia for rejecting Liverpool for Chelsea.

Retired footballer Emmanuel Petit has criticised the decision of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo to join Chelsea over Liverpool, claiming that a transfer to the Reds was wiser in a sporting sense.

Petit played a similar position to the duo in his playing days and was a Chelsea player from 2001-2004.

What happened
Jurgen Klopp's side lost out on two of their key transfer targets, Caicedo and Lavia, in their bid to sign a defensive midfielder following the departure of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to the Saudi Professional League.

The Blues themselves were keen on bringing in a player in the position and were successful in signing the duo, brushing off interest from the Merseysiders.

What Petit said
The former Arsenal midfielder believes that Liverpool have a better sporting project than Chelsea and hinted that a superior financial offer was why the duo opted for the move to West London.

He went on to state that if the decision had been his, he would have joined Liverpool and that there is less pressure to deal with at Anfield.

"Caicedo signed for Chelsea when he was linked with Liverpool, just like Romeo Lavia. I'm not going to say anything stupid, but we all know why they went to Chelsea,” He said, per Liverpool Echo.
