Chelsea have Moises Caicedo advantage over Arsenal as Brighton boss drops transfer hint

Chelsea have one potential way to convince Brighton to sell Moises Caicedo, but it could come at quite a cost. Not just in monetary terms either.

The Seagulls have already knocked back a £55million bid which fell well below their £75m valuation of the midfielder before Arsenal signalled their intention, still lowballing with a £60million offer. Brighton have themselves made it clear that they have no wishes to sell the player this month, especially not with three days left of the window and no replacement yet lined up.

Central midfield is the one remaining area for Chelsea to invest in this window having already signed six players, four of which are attackers, adding depth at centre-back and fullback with a deal agreed for Malo Gusto too. Midfield is arguably the most pressing area though having not signed a permanent player in that area of the pitch since 2018.
