Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo recently confirmed that he was “almost” an Arsenal player but “waited” until the Blues came calling after rejecting Liverpool’s advances.
Caicedo was a man in demand in 2023. During that year’s winter transfer window the former Brighton & Hove Albion star was reportedly the subject of multiple bids from Arsenal, the second of which was thought to stack up at £70 million ($92.8 million). The Seagulls ultimately held firm, prompting an angry statement from Caicedo’s representative at the time, Manuel Sierra, who huffed: “This is an opportunity that may not be repeated in life.”
