Erik ten Hag has given Chelsea the green light to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo with a statement on Manchester United's transfer business. United have been linked with a move for the Ecuador international but the Blues are thought to be leading the race for Caicedo's signature.
Arsenal were interested in Caicedo back in January, but have since cooled their interest in the 21-year-old this summer. Caicedo remains the priority for the Blues this summer, football.london understands.
The Brighton midfielder has recently confirmed that he is open to joining Chelsea in the summer transfer window. The Blues are currently in talks with Brighton as they look to sign the Ecuadorian midfielder in a deal that could cost in the region of £80million as Mauricio Pochettino looks to strengthen his midfield options.
