Arsenal and Chelsea look set for an interesting final few days of the January transfer window as both clubs push to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Blues sent a £55million bid to the Seagulls for Caicedo but saw that rejected, with the Gunners then making a push to sign the 21-year-old.
Brighton received a £60million bid for Caicedo from Arsenal on Friday, football.london understands. The Gunners submitted a proposal for the Ecuadorian international to Brighton, but it is thought that the Seagulls promptly rejected the approach.
Significant developments in what can now certainly be described as a Caicedo transfer saga took a dramatic turn when the player himself released a statement regarding his future on Instagram as he made it known that he wished to depart Brighton & Hove Albion.
