​Chelsea battling Man Utd to sign Eduadorian whizkid Caicedo

Chelsea and Newcastle United are emerging as two more candidates to sign Ecuador wonderkid Moises Caicedo.

The 19-year-old is closest to Manchester United, per an earlier report from respected journalist Fabrizio Romano.

However, United have not decided to sign the player for certain.

Now the Daily Mail suggests Chelsea and Newcastle are very much in the race.

Caicedo is one of the most impressive defensive midfielders in South America in his age group.

He plays for Independiente del Valle and would cost roughly £4.5 million.
