Chelsea have agreed a British record transfer fee of $146 million (approx Rs 1,214cr) for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo, according to media reports on Monday. 

The Ecuador international, 21, had also been a target for Premier League rivals Liverpool, who on Friday agreed a reported record GBP110 million fee with Brighton.
