Chelsea feel knock-on effect of Declan Rice fee in pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino target

Chelsea have been given a headache in their pursuit of Moises Caicedo, with fresh reports claiming the Ecuadorian's price tag has climbed to £100m if not more.

Rivals Arsenal had looked to sign Caicedo in January, only for the midfielder to agree a new Brighton deal after a transfer failed to materialise. While the Gunners have since turned their attentions elsewhere, with Declan Rice due to join from West Ham in a British record deal, that move looks to have had a knock-on effect on Chelsea's business.

Chelsea might have a free run at Caicedo - even if Man Utd retain an outside shot at a deal - but that doesn't mean he'll come cheap. Indeed, the price for the Seagulls star appears to be on the rise.
