He came up through the youth ranks at Independiente del Valle, one of the clubs with the best youth development programs in Ecuador. In the club’s youth ranks, he demonstrated his talent, which led to his promotion to the first team in 2019. His time in the youth divisions culminated in a major achievement: he won the Copa Libertadores U-20 in 2020, a tournament in which he delivered crucial performances, including game-winning goals in the semifinals and finals.

He made his debut with Independiente del Valle’s first team in 2020 and quickly established himself as a key player, standing out for his tactical intelligence, his ability to win the ball back, and his attacking contributions. That same year, his talent made waves beyond the country’s borders, as he scored his first goal in the Copa Libertadores with the first team and played a part in resounding victories against teams with a long continental tradition.

His outstanding performance at the club level and his subsequent debut with the Ecuadorian national team catapulted him into European soccer. Caicedo joined Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. of the English Premier League, and his impact in the European midfield demonstrated his ability to adapt to the most demanding leagues. His ability to move between defense and attack, combined with his boundless energy, has made him a valuable asset in the transfer market and on the Ecuadorian national team.
