Chelsea hold crucial bargaining chip over Arsenal in Moises Caicedo transfer race

Chelsea and Arsenal are set to fight over the signing of Brighton talent Moises Caicedo this summer. The two London clubs both had offers for the 21-year-old rejected by the Seagulls during the January transfer window.

Caicedo is said to have been made Chelsea’s "number one priority" for the summer transfer window. Mauricio Pochettino wants to sign a new central midfielder ahead of next season, as football.london reported last month, but more reinforcements may be required with Mateo Kovacic likely to leave the club.

Manchester City are pursuing a deal to sign the Croatia international as he enters the final 12 months of his contract, with the Blues said to have placed a £35million asking price.
