What Moises Caicedo said on Chelsea transfer decision ahead of World Cup opener Qatar vs Ecuador

Chelsea target Moises Caicedo will be closely watched closely by Blues fans across the world in the World Cup opener Qatar vs Ecuador. The Ecuadorian is set to play an important role for his nation in the tournament as they look to book a place in the round of 16.

Ecuador are joined by the hosts, Netherlands and Africa Cup of Nations winners Senegal in Group A in what is poised to be a tough handful of fixtures. La Tricolor will be hoping Caicedo can replicate his impressive performances for Brighton on the international stage.

The 21-year-old, who sees his deal at the Amex Stadium expire in 2025, has featured 14 times for the Seagulls in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards one goal from midfield. His impressive displays have reportedly attracted the interest of Chelsea and Real Madrid, with Brighton giving the youngster an eye-watering £68million price tag.
