Chelsea are ready to increase their offer for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The big-spending Blues, anxious to strengthen in central midfield, have already seen a £55million bid turned down. But it is believed Chelsea will make a fresh offer closer to the £65m that would tempt the Seagulls to part with the 21-year-old Ecuador international.
Chelsea boss Graham Potter, who was in charge at Brighton when Caicedo arrived from Independiente del Valle in a £4m deal almost two years ago, is a huge admirer. And former Brighton head of recruitment Paul Winstanley is now Chelsea’s ‘director of global talent and transfers’.
