Arsenal have found themselves significantly intertwined with Chelsea thus far in the summer transfer window. The obvious link comes in the form of Declan Rice, with both London clubs holding a long-term interest, and now similarities are there involving three more players following on from the Blues' agreement to sell Jorginho to Arsenal in the January transfer window.
Understandably, with the London-based duo both looking likely to lose numerous midfielders and thus bolster their ranks in that position, other targets alongside Rice are being looked at by both. Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo was wanted by both in the winter window and that interest has continued into the summer, but the Blues now hold the distinct advantage.
A transfer to Emirates Stadium looked more likely for the 21-year-old earlier this year, but now, with Mikel Arteta's firm focus on Rice, Chelsea are frontrunners for his signature. Mauricio Pochettino is expected to sanction Chelsea's second bid for the Ecuador international in the coming days after a £60million opening offer was swiftly rejected earlier this month.
