Arsenal and Chelsea have set their sights on the same new target after both failing to sign Moises Caicedo. The 21-year-old was heavily linked with an exit from Brighton in January and, desperate to secure a move, he issued a shock statement on social media.
A switch failed to materialise with the Seagulls adamant that midfielder wasn't going to leave. football.london understands that Edu submitted two bids for the Ecuador international but both were rejected.
It was said that Todd Boehly was looking to sign Caicedo in the event that the Blues failed in their mission to acquire Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. The west Londoners eventually prioritised a move for the Argentina international before wrapping up a deal worth an eye-watering £107million.
