Arsenal’s interest in Moises Caicedo won’t stop them trying to sign Declan Rice as well this summer.
Mikel Arteta’s side formalised their interest in the Brighton midfielder on Friday, recording an offer understood to be around £60million, while Chelsea have submitted a bid of £55million. A deal for the Ecuadorian won’t be easy however and the Seagulls won’t consider letting Moises Caicedo go this month unless they can get in a replacement.
And, even then, there are no guarantees for his suitors at Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool that the £90million-rated star will be allowed to leave. The Ecuadorian, who took to social media on Friday to speak of his desire to leave, was told yesterday to take time off until the transfer window closes to get his head right.
