LONDON -- Chelsea couldn't beat Liverpool on the pitch but a more significant outcome than Sunday's 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge might be winning the race to sign Moisés Caicedo.
This was a contest which served as a 90-minute commercial explaining why both sides are willing to break the British transfer record for Brighton's Caicedo -- while also vying with each other to land another midfielder with boundless potential, Southampton's Romeo Lavia.
Sources have told ESPN that Caicedo's preference is for a move to Stamford Bridge and he will have been enthused further by the promising signs of progress under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
