Paul Robinson has tipped Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo to go for £70million amid interest from Newcastle United and Chelsea.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one said the "brilliant" 21-year-old "is only going to get better."

Caicedo has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season.

According to The Sun's Alan Nixon (3 December), Man United, Chelsea and Newcastle are all chasing the centre-midfielder, who is valued at £70million.

The Ecuador international has two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract with the Seagulls.

When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of the latest, Robinson said: "Look, a player's price is determined by the bidders.

"Caicedo is a brilliant young player. He is only going to get better.

"I am not surprised that top clubs are looking at him. If the top clubs want him his price is going to be very high. I can see him going for £60-£70million.

"If Newcastle are going to be in a bidding war with a Man United or a Chelsea then they are going to have to pay top dollar. All of those clubs can pay the high prices though. Brighton will hold out for the best possible fee.

"In truth, I don't think Caicedo has done enough to warrant going for £70million but a club will pay that for him. This is the top level of English football."
