Caicedo is the only Ecuadorian footballer to have started his career in Europe, when he made his debut in 2006 for [[FC Basel]], and is also one of the youngest players to ever play for the national team, making his debut at the age of 16 against [[Italy national football team|Italy]]. ==Club career== ===Basel=== Caicedo was signed by [[Swiss Super League]] side [[FC Basel]] from [[Rocafuerte Fútbol Club|Rocafuerte]] in his native [[Ecuador]] during the Swiss 2005–06 season for an undisclosed fee while he was just 17 years old. Due to his youth, he was trained in the minor divisions. He went on to play 20 games for Basel in the following 2006–07 season, accompanied by three Swiss League goals. Clubs from [[La Liga]], [[Premier League]], and [[Serie A]] were monitoring his progress, with [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] said to have made an inquiry in the winter of 2007.<ref>{{cite news | date=2007-12-07 | title=English eyes on Caicedo | url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11981_2943260,00.html | publisher=''[[Sky Sports]]'' | accessdate=2009-07-18}}</ref> ===Manchester City=== On 31 January 2008, it was announced that [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] had secured Caicedo's services on a four-and-a-half year deal through a £5.2 million transfer fee (€7 million), which would make his sale one of the highest transfers in the history of the Swiss League. His transfer to Manchester City was completed after Caicedo was granted a work permit.<ref>{{cite news | date=2008-01-31 | url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3096727,00.html | title=City close on Caicedo | publisher=[[Sky Sports]] | accessdate=2008-01-31}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | date=2008-01-31 | url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=511374&in_page_id=1779&ct=5 | title=Manchester City sign striker Caicedo for £5m | publisher=[[Daily Mail]] | accessdate=2008-01-31}}</ref> Caicedo was described by his manager as "one of the great South American talents" and was also compared to the [[Brazil]]ian [[Adriano Leite Ribeiro|Adriano]].<ref>{{cite news | date=2008-01-31 | url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=503855&cc=5901 | title=City poised for double striker transfer swoop | publisher=[[ESPNsoccernet]] | accessdate=2008-01-31}}</ref> He made his debut on 10 February 2008, in a 2–1 away win against rivals [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], coming on in the second half. He ended the season with 10 appearances in the [[Premier League]], all of them coming on as a substitute. Caicedo scored his first goal for City the following season in an [[UEFA Cup]] game against [[Racing de Santander]]. He scored his second consecutive goal with a back heel in a league game against [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]], but the goal was initially ruled as an own goal, as it hit the post and then the goalkeeper before finally going in. The goal was later given back to Caicedo after reconsideration from the [[Dubious Goals Committee]]. After these solid performances, both coming off the bench, club manager [[Mark Hughes]] gave him the opportunity to start his first game in the league and he went on to score for the third game in a row, this time scoring the first two goals against [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] on 26 December 2008, in a 5–1 victory, taking his goal tally up to four. He started against [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] on 28 December 2008. Caicedo opened the scoring in the first leg of the [[UEFA Cup]] last 16 tie with [[AaB Football|Aalborg BK]] at the [[City of Manchester Stadium]]. Manchester City won the game 2–0. Caicedo scored his sixth goal of the season for Manchester City against [[Hamburger SV]] on 16 April 2009, but City was eliminated from the cup due to 4–3 aggregate defeat. Caicedo impressed a large number of Manchester City fans that season with his strong performances as a single striker with the ability to hold up the ball in key areas and shrug off defenders. Caicedo's seventh City goal came in City's 3–1 home win over Blackburn Rovers on 2 May. Caicedo scored his eighth goal for Manchester City in the 1–0 win over [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] on the last day of the season at the City of Manchester Stadium.<ref>{{cite news | date=2009-05-24 | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8048313.stm | title=Caicedo finds the net in 1–0 win over Bolton | publisher=[[BBC Sport]] | accessdate=2009-05-24}}</ref> ===Sporting CP=== At the start of the 2009–10 season, Caicedo was tipped to leave City in order to get more playing time, especially after the club signed fellow forwards [[Roque Santa Cruz]], [[Emmanuel Adebayor]], and [[Carlos Tévez]].<ref>[http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/news/29954/sporting-leiht-caicedo.html Sporting leiht Caicedo]</ref> So, on 23 July 2009, [[Sporting Clube de Portugal]] and Manchester City reached a one-year loan deal with option of a permanent deal ,<ref>{{cite news | date=2009-07-23 | title=Sporting announces a one-year deal with Felipe Caicedo | url=http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi2004/emitentes/docs/FR24692.pdf | publisher=''CMVM'' | accessdate=2009-09-23 (Portuguese)}}</ref> that would allow him to be part of their squad for the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League]], potentially allowing Caicedo a year to develop himself as a forward before returning to [[Manchester City]].
