Caicedo names Kante and Man United flop as two of his idols in football

Moises Caicedo opened up on players he looked up to earlier on in his development in football.

He revealed that Chelsea legend N'Golo Kante was one of the players he looked up to.

Interestingly the other player he named was one of the biggest flops in recent year in the Premier League, Paul Pogba.

"N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba were my idols in football," he said. "I loved watching them.

"Playing in my neighbourhood, I would play with my brother's friends. It was amazing because they were older, so I learnt a lot from them.

"Meeting N'Golo Kante - it was amazing. I was at Brighton, on the bench. I think it was 1-1. After the game, I ran straight to Kante to swap shirts. He said 'yes, of course'.

"He was very kind with me. It was an incredible moment for me because I met my idol.

"It was the same with Paul Pogba and I swapped shirts with him. I have the shirts back in Ecuador. Nobody can take the shirts away. They are so special to me."
