Arsenal and Chelsea are set to go toe-to-toe over the signing of Brighton star Moises Caicedo this summer. The two London clubs had bids for the 21-year-old rejected by the Seagulls during the January transfer window - but are set to reignite their interest in Caicedo ahead of next season.
Roberto De Zerbi has been honest about Caicedo's future in recent weeks and admitted the Ecuador international deserves to play at a higher level. "They can have the possibility to change [clubs] because they deserve to play in another level," he said.
Having won the World Cup in December, Caicedo's team-mate Alexis Mac Allister is now on the verge of signing for Liverpool due to a £35million release clause in his contract. Caicedo, on the other hand, is valued at over £80million and would require a huge bid to lure him away since he does not have a specific release clause in his deal.
