Manchester United have struck terms with Independiente del Valle for Moises Caicedo.

Diario Extra says the 19-year-old midfielder has attracted interest from RB Leipzig and AC Milan but United appear to have won the race for his signature with his arrival at Old Trafford thought to be imminent.

The Premier League side have negotiated a fee of around £4.5million plus add-ons, with the youngster set to sign in the coming hours.

Caicedo caught the eye of scouts during his four international appearances in World Cup qualifiers for Ecuador. He scored his first goal for his country in a 4-2 victory over Uruguay in October.

Independiente del Valle became resigned to losing him earlier this month.

"We have received an offer from a European club for Moises Caicedo, we are negotiating the proposal," said the club's manager Santiago Morales.

"It is most likely that he will not be in our team in 2021 due to the proposal we've received, it is very difficult to keep him."
