FELIPE CAICEDO could be set to return to the Premier League, according to reports in Spain.

| Caicedo's form for club and country has attracted the attention of Premier League bosses |
The 27-year-old now plies his trade in Spain for Espanyol but spent three years at Manchester City before leaving for Lokomotiv Moscow in 2011 after a succession of loan spells.
And now the Ecuadorian is on the radar of both Everton and Newcastle, claim Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Caicedo is Espanyol's top-scorer this season with five goals in La Liga but Constantin Galca's side are still struggling in 13th place.
The former City man is also currently top-scorer in South America's World Cup qualification with four goals in Ecuador's first four games.
His form has not gone unnoticed as Premier League clubs apparently consider the possibility of bringing him back to England.
Newcastle have already been one of the January transfer window's most active clubs having signed Jonjo Shelvey for £12million yesterday, but Steve McClaren is keen on adding another striker to his squad.
Caicedo's versatility makes him an especially attractive prospect to Everton who look likely to let Steven Naismith leave before the end of the transfer window.
And while the Espanyol forward is unlikely to displace red-hot Romelu Lukaku, his ability to play on either flank could make him a helpful utility player in Roberto Martinez's squad.
