The sum equates to $182,000 at current value, a $110,000 weekly salary increase from the contract Caicedo was on last season at the Amex Stadium.

The defensive midfielder has yet to find his form this season and was badly at fault on his debut when he gave away a penalty in the Blues’ 3-1 defeat at London rivals West Ham last month.
