‘This Guy Is A Pogba With Higher Pace And Better Skill’ ‘He’s A Beast!’ Chelsea Fans Excited About Potential Move For 19 Year Old

Chelsea are scouting Independiente del Valle midfielder Moises Caicedo, according to reports in the English media.

The Ecuadorian international has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in recent days, but the Blues, along with Newcastle and Brighton, are also thought to be keeping close tabs on the player.

It is said that Chelsea have been in contact with intermediaries representing Caicedo, and most supporters on Twitter would be happy for the club to make a move for the 19-year-old in the January transfer window:

Reports suggest that Caicedo could be available for as little as £4.5m, while his salary would not be a problem either. Whether Chelsea actually need another holding midfielder, though, is another matter entirely.

Manager Frank Lampard already has the likes of N’Golo Kante, Billy Gilmour and Ethan Ampadu in the squad, so signing someone like Caicedo may be an investment for the future rather than having plans to play him in the first team straight away.
