Arsenal remain hopeful of getting a deal done to bring in Moises Caicedo before the January transfer window closes on Tuesday evening. The Gunners have now had two bids firmly rejected by Brighton, who have made it clear that they do not want to sell.
The Seagulls are thought to have been unmoved by Caicedo's plea for a move on social media which Arsenal insist they had nothing to do with. They are keen to keep the Ecuadorian international at the Amex and view him as a key player in their push to qualify for Europe.
Although Arsenal remain respectful of Brighton's stance, they are of the opinion that a deal could be done if Roberto De Zerbi's side bring in a midfielder before Tuesday's 11pm deadline. The Gunners do not want to overpay for Caicedo, though.
