Mauricio Pochettino has been told why Chelsea must complete the signing of Moises Caicedo. The 21-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Brighton, with the Blues determined further bolster their midfield options this summer.
football.london understands that Arsenal tried to sign Caicedo in January, submitting two bids which were swiftly rejected. Despite pushing for an exit, the Ecuador international signed a new deal in March, keeping him at the Amex Stadium until 2027.
At first, it seemed as if his extension would rule out the possibility of a move in the near future, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Chelsea's pursuit of the Ecuadorian building a head of steam. football.london understands that the Blues hold a strong interest in Caicedo, and they're aware he could cost in the region of £80million.
