Arsenal transfer strategy revealed by Mikel Arteta attraction to Moises Caicedo

Arsenal's interest in Brighton star Moises Caicedo dates back to January of this year and the reason why the Gunners are so keen has become clearer.

Mikel Arteta is thought to have submitted multiple offers for the Ecuadorian during the January transfer window earlier this year, with the highest coming in at £70million. That proposal was swiftly rejected by the Seagulls, who expected more for one of their prized assets who has since signed a lucractive new contract at the Amex.

As a result, Caicedo is certainly not going anywhere on the cheap this summer. Despite the rejected bids at the turn of the year, Arsenal still harbour hopes of landing the 21-year-old's signature in the coming months and part of that is due to his versatility.
