Chelsea can save £64m on short term Moises Caicedo alternative to avoid Arsenal bidding war

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.
