Chelsea have been handed a huge boost to their chances of signing Moises Caicedo this summer. The 21-year-old midfielder was heavily linked with an exit from Brighton in January but a move failed to materialise.
Despite Caicedo's best efforts to leave the Amex Stadium, the Seagulls blocked his exit. football.london understands that Arsenal submitted two bids for the Ecuador international but both were rejected.
It was said that the Blues were also preparing a bid for Caicedo in the event that they missed out on Enzo Fernandez, but Todd Boehly wrapped up a deal for his top-target on deadline day. In March, Caicedo signed a new long-term deal which keeps him on the the south coast until 2027.
