Chelsea and Liverpool handed major Moises Caicedo transfer boost after Brighton 'mission'

Chelsea and Liverpool have been handed a huge potential transfer boost in their approach for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo in the transfer window. It comes as both sides appear desperate to improve their central ranks amid dips in form during the Premier League season.

The Blues are in particular need of a midfield rework, with key players Jorginho and N'Golo Kante nearing the end of their deals at the club and arguably beyond their peak years. The options beyond them are few and far between and the Blues' recent approach for Benfica's Enzo Fernandez shows the next transfer priority for the squad.

For Graham Potter's vision, he may need someone he can trust to hold down the midfield that will also fit with the vision of the new ownership structure. Caicedo fits both of those criteria, with the Ecuador international impressing at 21-years-old at the heart of the Seagulls' side.
