Chelsea star Moisés Caicedo may face legal action after being stopped by Surrey police last week for allegedly driving without a valid UK licence. The 23-year-old Ecuador international, Britain’s most expensive footballer, was driving a £160,000 Audi RSQ8 near Chelsea’s Cobham training base when officers seized the vehicle. Under DVLA rules, international licences are only valid for 12 months in the UK, after which drivers must obtain a UK licence. Police are also investigating whether Caicedo held valid insurance at the time. Chelsea have stated it is a personal matter, and Caicedo’s agent declined to comment. The midfielder continues to feature for Chelsea and travelled to Poland for their UEFA Conference League tie.
