Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi claims that Moises Caicedo has nothing to prove against Arsenal on Sunday after missing out on a switch to the Gunners in January. The Ecuador international has impressed for the Seagulls in the heart of their midfield, replacing Yves Bissouma after his move to Tottenham last summer.
At just 21-years-old, the midfielder has shown plenty of promise and as a result, has led to lots of transfer interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe. On transfer deadline day in January, Arsenal made their move to add the youngster into their squad, but had a £70million bid rejected.
Caicedo appeared to try and manufacture a move, posting on social media: "I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful. The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity.”
