Chelsea 'test the water' with £65m transfer proposal for Moises Caicedo amid Brighton demand

Chelsea are in the market for a new central midfielder after strengthening their attack and defence. The Blues have signed five new players in January so far with Mykhailo Mudryk becoming the latest addition to Graham Potter's squad.

Mudryk completed an £88million move to Stamford Bridge from Shakhtar Donetsk last week before being unveiled to fans at half-time during the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. The move for the Ukrainian winger came after a deal for Enzo Fernandez stalled with Benfica demanding the Argentinian midfielder's £105million release clause be paid in full.

Potter is keen to add a new midfielder to his squad given N'Golo Kante's long-term injury, paired with the Frenchman's and Jorginho's uncertain futures with their respective contracts set to expire at the end of the season. Brighton star Moises Caicedo has been heavily linked with a move to west London but Todd Boehly will need to pay an extortionate price to secure the Ecuadorian's signature this month.
