Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson appears set to complete the deadline-day capture of FC Basle striker Felipe Caicedo.Even though he is only 19, Caicedo has international experience and represented Ecuador at the Copa America last year.

Eriksson needs to boost his attacking options after letting under-performing Georgios Samaras and Rolando Bianchi join Celtic and Lazio on loan respectively.

Eriksson revealed after City's draw at Derby that he was hoping to sign a new striker, although he did not name Caicedo.

"I haven't spoken to anyone after the match. But all morning and half of the afternoon I have been talking, talking, talking - and it looked very positive two-and-a-half hours before the game," he said.
