Liverpool could be about to be dealt a blow in their reported pursuit of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Reds were heavily linked with the Ecuador international in the latter days of the summer transfer window. However, no move materialised with the Seagulls standing firm in their desire to keep the player.
Other clubs were also linked with Caicedo throughout the summer. Manchester United and Arsenal were credited with an interest, while it remains to be seen if new Chelsea boss Graham Potter wants to bring the player to his new club.
