Speaking on talkSPORT, Bent said, “They are not bad players because Liverpool wanted the same players.

“If you are a Chelsea fan and you are watching that yesterday – I know they wanted Jorginho out, but he’d have been so much better in that situation than Caicedo.

“What Jorginho does better than anyone is control the pace of the game.

“Even Mateo Kovacic, they let Kovacic go to Manchester City – you can’t tell me that Kovacic and Jorginho are not better than Caicedo and Enzo?”
