Brighton have given Moises Caicedo a fresh price tag after rejecting Chelsea's opening bid. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge since the appointment of his former boss Graham Potter as Blues boss.
football.london understands that the west Londoners are expected to persevere in their pursuit of Caicedo before the January transfer window slams shut. It's said that Chelsea are in the market for a new midfielder this month amid the uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, who are both set to leave in the summer once their contracts expire.
The former has suffered an injury-ridden campaign on the sidelines while the latter has struggled for form, so Caicedo has been identified as a solution to Chelsea's midfield problem. It's believed that the Blues submitted a formal offer in the region of £55million for the Ecuador international last week, which was rejected without negotiation.
