Arsenal are 'ready' to rival Chelsea for Brighton talent Moises Caicedo as both London teams look to sign a new midfielder. West Ham captain Declan Rice has emerged as one of the Gunners' top targets for the summer despite the 24-year-old having been heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge.
Caicedo has been tracked by the two London clubs and Liverpool for some time, with the Blues having had two bids in excess of £55million rejected by Brighton this month. The 21-year-old has broken his silence over a potential transfer exit in the January transfer window after confirming that Manuel Sierra (Futbol Division) and Ali Barat will be his new agents.
Amadou Onana has emerged as a potential alternative to Caicedo and Rice for both Chelsea and Arsenal after Everton sacked Frank Lampard and are in need of raising funds to invest in the team. The Blues are thought to still be pursuing a deal for Benfica star Enzo Fernandez, which could allow the Gunners to hijack a move for Caicedo and get revenge after Mykhailo Mudryk moved to Stamford Bridge after being heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
