Chelsea could not resist the urge to aim a brutal dig at Liverpool after they beat the Reds to the signing of Moises Caicedo.

The former Brighton star was the subject of an intense transfer battle pitting the two Premier League giants before the Blues won the race.

According to The Mirror, the Blues had made Caicedo their primary transfer target and have been trying to seal a deal for his services all summer.

However, Liverpool appeared on course to snap up the Ecuadorian from their jaws after submitting a £111 million offer prior to Sunday's Premier League cracker between the two sides.

Caicedo's unveiling video

In his unveiling video, Sports Brief reported that Caicedo was seen hugging his mum, who sat in the boot of a car, reminiscent of a picture of him as a young boy wearing a Chelsea shirt.

In the background of the video was a viral song by Nigerian artists Pheelz and BNXN, Finesse - a song which connotes going all out for what you want regardless of what it costs.

It exemplifies Chelsea going out of their way to beat a late hijack attempt by Liverpool.
