Moises Caicedo's actions have been slammed as "disrespectful" after the Brighton star attempted to force through a move to Arsenal.
The Gunners are looking to bolster their ranks this summer with the Premier League title in their sights. They are short in midfield and have identified the Seagulls star as a potential signing with a £60m deal potentially on the cards amid interest from rivals Chelsea.
Brighton have shown themselves willing to part with their major stars for the right price. Caicedo though has already talked up his potential exit with a post on social media that underlined his desire to take up the "magnificent opportunity" as he called for understanding.
