Arsenal ramped up their interest in signing a midfielder on Friday as a £60million bid for Moises Caicedo was rejected, football.london understands. The Gunners submitted a proposal for the Ecuadorian international to Brighton, but it is thought that the Seagulls rejected the approach promptly. That follows a £55million bid from Chelsea which was rejected earlier this week.
The Gunners are in desperate need of a midfielder before the transfer window closes. With less than 15 hours remaining, it is key that Edu strengthens the middle of the park to further bolster Mikel Arteta's options.
The Brazilian has potentially sent a hint that Arsenal are set for an incoming before the 11pm deadline. This comes after the surprise reported potential sale of Albert Sambi Lokonga.
