Brighton edge closer to signing of Manchester United target

Brighton and Hove Albion are closing in on a deal to sign Manchester United target Moises Caicedo from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle.

The 19-year-old came through the youth ranks at Independiente del Valle, making his professional debut for the club in October 2019. He has since continued to impress, earning four caps for Ecuador, and becoming the first player born in the 21st century to score in a CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifier.

The midfielder had been linked with a move to Manchester United. However, now Sky are reporting that Brighton and Hove Albion are leading the race for the teenager.
