Mikel Arteta's Moises Caicedo plan revealed as Arsenal search for perfect Declan Rice partner

Arsenal continue to be linked with a summer transfer for Brighton star Moises Caicedo.

Mikel Arteta's side tried to sign the Ecuadorian international during the January window, seeing two bids rejected by the Seagulls before the talented midfielder penned a new contract at the Amex Stadium. Despite Caicedo's fresh deal, Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that the 21-year-old is likely to leave the south coast club this summer - with both the Gunners and London rivals Chelsea mooted as his most likely destinations.

As per The Evening Standard, it is Caicedo's versatility that makes him such an attractive prospect. Arteta is said to believe that the young midfielder can play as both a no.6, as well as further forward in the free-roaming no.8 role and he even operated as a right-back during the latter part of the 2022/23 campaign.
