Roberto De Zerbi has issued a defining message for Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister after Brighton's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on the final day of the season. It didn't change anything for the Seagulls having already confirmed their spot in the Europa League next season but did pose as a farewell for some of their stars.
Heading into the summer a number of players are expected to leave the south coast with Mac Allister, Caicedo and Kaoru Mitomo amongst the most in-demand. Evan Ferguson is another with admirers across the league after his fine breakthrough season, Julio Enciso has wowed viewers in recent weeks with his performances as well.
For Arsenal, it is notable that De Zerbi has finally started to speak openly about the prospect of losing his two midfield keystones after both players have been at the centre of mass transfer speculation. It was only in January that Caicedo effectively handed in a request to leave after bids from the Gunners.
