Chelsea are still pushing to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton in the summer transfer window despite no significant updates in their pursuit coming to light. Mauricio Pochettino wants the Blues to sign the midfielder and do so before he takes the squad over to the USA on a pre-season tour which kicks off on July 19.
The widely reported plans for Chelsea in the current trading period were that outgoings began as the primary focus. A significant batch of those were sealed with Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic as the marquee sales, before a transfer saga involving Mason Mount took the spot light.
Three bids were lodged for Mount from Manchester United, but all were rejected by those at Stamford Bridge until an in-person meeting saw a compromise met at a transfer package worth up to £60million. With that move finalised and confirmed last week, bringing Caicedo to the club has been the main focus for the last week, but no progress looks to have been made.
