Arsenal beats Chelsea to the signing of Moises Caicedo
Posted : 22 May 2023
Despite interest from rival Chelsea, Arsenal is expected to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo this summer.
A number of Premier League teams have expressed interest in the Ecuadorian international as a result of his successful season on the south coast.
The 21-year-old was heavily connected to a £70 million transfer to Arsenal in January; however, a deal never materialised, and Caicedo went on to agree to a new agreement with Brighton that lasts until 2027.
Despite the new contract, the report indicates that Brighton is content to lose its star midfielder, even if they will still seek a sizable amount of between £70m and £80m to do so.
Chelsea is also thought to be interested, but given their recent spending habits and need to save money this summer, they are unlikely to sign the midfielder.
