Chelsea have held talks with Brighton regarding Moises Caicedo every day since last Friday but still appear no closer to signing their priority target. The Blues held a firm interest in the Ecuador international heading into the summer window but sealing numerous outgoings was the first job on Mauricio Pochettino's to-do list.
Just under three weeks into the opening day of the summer trading period and it's fair to say Chelsea have certainly been successful in their planned squad exodus.
Kalidou Koulibaly, N'Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all had their departures confirmed with the Blues managing to raise just under £150 million thus far, although the sale of Mason Mount to Manchester United will take see that sum rise over £200m.
