The Premier League fixture list has given Moises Caicedo a period of respite from angry Brighton supporters if he is to join Chelsea this summer. The 21-year-old midfielder has heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the previous transfer window but, despite his best efforts, Brighton blocked his departure.
football.london understands that Arsenal submitted two bids for the Ecuador international in January, but both were rejected. It's said that the Gunners are now prioritising a move for Declan Rice, with Mikel Arteta desperate to further bolster his options in the midfield of the park.
In March, Caicedo signed a new long-term deal which keeps him on the south coast until 2027. Initially, it seemed as if the Ecuadorian's extension would rule out the prospect of a future move, however that doesn't seem to be the case with Chelsea expected to make a move in the coming weeks.
