Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has questioned the price-tag of Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo.

Newcastle meet Chelsea tonight in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal.

In August, Wilson commented on Caicedo's 115m move from Brighton to Chelsea.

He said on the BBC's Footballers' Podcast: "How many midfielders do they want? Let's put this into context.

"Caicedo, I have not really seen much of him in midfield. We played against Brighton and he played at right-back against us. But for the price that he's cost, you could get [Sandro] Tonali and [Bruno] Guimaraes and still have change to buy me, probably! 20million gets you me!

"That's how the money is going crazy," added the 13million-rated striker. "It's probably just because it's Premier League to Premier League. If he was coming in from somewhere else, like what Brighton did, you are buying him for 4m. You are making over 100m profit, it's crazy."
