Lazio close to a €3m deal for Espanyol striker Felipe Caicedo

Lazio are said to be very close to a €3m (£2.68m) deal for Espanyol striker Felipe Caicedo.

The 28-year-old Ecuador international is well-travelled, playing for the likes of FC Basel, Manchester City, Sporting CP, Malaga, Levante, Lokomotiv Moscow and Al-Jazira.

According to Gazzamercato, Lazio have practically agreed terms with Espanyol for the €3m transfer.

Last season, Caicedo scored just two goals with two assists in 27 Liga appearances, but did get sent off.

His current contract runs to June 2019 and he arrived as a free agent from Al-Jazira in 2014.
