Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has issued an update on the Seagulls' transfer policy after Moises Caicedo pushed for an exit. The 21-year-old was heavily linked with a move to both Arsenal and Chelsea last month but a deal collapsed despite his best efforts.
football.london understands that Caicedo was the Gunners' primary target and it's believed that Edu submitted two bids for the Ecuador international. However, both were rejected with Roberto De Zerbi's side insistent on not selling the midfielder.
It's said that Todd Boehly was also preparing a swoop for Caicedo in the event that the Blues failed in their mission to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. But Chelsea eventually prioritised a move for the Argentina international.
