Chelsea handed Moises Caicedo transfer incentive by Brighton boss amid Todd Boehly £55m setback

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has hinted that his side may struggle to keep hold of Moises Caicedo, amid Chelsea's £55million offer for the Ecuador international on Thursday. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge following the appointment of Graham Potter.

Caicedo, whose current deal on the south coast expires in 2025, has been one of many Brighton players to receive plaudits for his performances this season. The 21-year-old has featured 20 times for the Seagulls this campaign, directly contributing to two goals.

After news of Arsenal's pursuit of Leandro Trossard emerged, it was reported that the west Londoners had an opening £55m bid rejected for Caicedo. It's understood that the Seagulls will demand more for their midfield maestro, with chief executive Paul Barber handing his verdict on Caicedo's market value earlier this season.
