And now the Ecuadorian is said to be a target in the January window, when the new boss can put his own stamp on things through the transfer market.

Caicedo spoke to Argentine outlet Ole about the possibility of a reunion at the Premier League giants later in the season.

He said: “It made me very sad now that Potter left for Chelsea, because he helped me a lot and I wanted to continue having him as a manager, but that’s football.

“You never know. Today you can be here and tomorrow somewhere else, that’s the job of a footballer and a coach.
