Liverpool's hopes of making a move for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo appear to have been dashed after the player published a farewell message to Brighton fans via social media on Friday evening.
But his intended destination appears to be Arsenal, after the Gunners had a £60million offer for the Ecuadorian rejected on Friday afternoon - an amount Liverpool reportedly have no interest in matching in the current window.
Sharing a statement on both his Instagram and Twitter pages, Caicedo said: "I am grateful to Mr. Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League and I feel I have always done my best for them. I always play football with a smile and with heart. I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador.
