Brighton have signed their potential replacement for Moises Caicedo, amid interest from Chelsea in the midfielder.
The 21-year-old was a star performer for the Seagulls last season as Roberto De Zerbi’s side sealed European football for the first time in their history. The Ecuadorian looked set to leave Brighton in January, but the south coast club held their nerve, with the midfielder ultimately signing a new contract with the Seagulls.
However, De Zerbi admitted last month that both Caicedo and recent Liverpool signing Alexis Mac Allister could be leaving the club this summer. football.london understands that Chelsea are wary that Caicedo could cost close to £100million . Meanwhile, Brighton have already boosted their midfield options.
