Ecuador starlet Moises Caicedo 'will fly to England to complete his £4.5m move to Brighton today' after Seagulls beat Manchester United and Chelsea to highly-rated midfielder's signature

Brighton target Moises Caicedo is set to fly into England today to seal a £4.5m switch with the Seagulls holding off Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea to land the youngster.

The 19-year-old midfielder had emerged as a target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's table toppers, after becoming the first player born in the 21st century to ever score in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying with a goal in Ecuador's 4-2 win over Uruguay.

However, Sky Sports report that the Independiente Del Valle star is on the verge of joining Graham Potter's side, who have agreed to a 20 per cent sell on clause for any future deal.
