Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has offered a fresh stance on Moises Caicedo's future with the 21-year-old being linked with a summer transfer to Arsenal. The Gunners had two bids for Caicedo rejected by the Seagulls in January before he signed a new long-term deal to stay at the Amex Stadium until 2027.
The player himself then released a statement expressing his desire to leave the club during the winter window but he ultimately failed to push through a move. Caicedo's new deal will protect his market value and make it harder for a club to poach him from De Zerbi's squad this summer.
Caicedo has since made his feelings towards Arsenal very clear in a recent interview, with reports linking him with a move to the Emirates Stadium likely to dominate headlines over the summer. The 21-year-old put in an exceptional performance against the Gunners in Brighton's 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, highlighting his quality in front of the Arsenal fans, staff and players.
