Arsenal cannot copy enviable but scattergun Brighton transfer strategy amid Moises Caicedo bid

There is little doubt that Brighton have been able to recruit players that have enabled the Seagulls to rise to a position challenging for a place in the European qualification spots. Graham Potter and Roberto De Zerbi have taken the work of Chris Hughton to a new level and seen Arsenal and others try and sign many of their best players.

So far both Ben White and Leandro Trossard have arrived at Arsenal and football.london understands that the Gunners continue to push to try and sign Moises Caicedo. Two bids have been rejected so far as Edu tries to secure the midfield arrival Mikel Arteta has craved.

In short, whilst in theory it might seem viable, in reality it isn’t.
