Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo Under Investigation for Driving Without Valid Licence

The Ecuadorian midfielder had his £160,000 Audi seized by Surrey police near the club's training ground as inquiries into his insurance and licence status continue.

• Moisés Caicedo, Chelsea's record £115 million signing, was stopped by Surrey police on April 4, 2025, near the Cobham training ground for allegedly driving without a valid licence.
• Police seized Caicedo's £160,000 Audi RSQ8 and are investigating whether he held valid insurance and complied with UK driving regulations for international licences.
• Under UK law, international driving licences are valid for 12 months; drivers must then obtain a UK licence to continue driving legally.
• Chelsea FC and Caicedo's agent have declined to comment, framing the issue as a personal matter unrelated to the club's operations.
• The incident raises broader concerns about regulatory compliance for international athletes and the potential legal and professional consequences of off-field behavior.
