Chelsea will reopen talks with Brighton & Hove Albion over a possible move for midfielder Moises Caicedo this summer.
The 21-year-old has been identified as the Blues' priority signing in the centre of midfield and the club have been pushing for his signature in recent weeks. Ever since missing out on Manuel Ugarte, Chelsea have switched their attention firmly to Caicedo despite rival interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.
Chelsea, however, are the favourites to sign the Ecuador international, who has four years remaining on his contract down at the Amex Stadium. football.london understands Chelsea and Caicedo have already verbally agreed on personal terms to see him make a big-money move to Stamford Bridge, but the problem at the moment is the Blues and Brighton are yet to compromise on a fee.
