Moises Caicedo took interest in his services into his own hands this week by making a shock statement on social media.
The Ecuadorian - of interest to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool - appealed to his current club Brighton to accept any bids for his signature. The Seagulls have understandably been left furious and have now told the 21-year-old to stay away from training until after the January transfer window.
Whether he remains at the AMEX Stadium or eventually seals the move that he desires remains to be seen but he might only need to look to his predecessors for what can happen. A number of players have attempted to force through transfers both in January and the summer window to varying degrees of success.
