Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly pushing to get a deal done for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.
According to Rudy Galetti on Twitter, Chelsea are interested in signing Moises Caicedo from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
The Italian journalist has claimed that Brighton want £100 million in transfer fees for the midfielder.
Chelsea do not want to pay more than £90 million.
Galetti has added that new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino really wants the 21-year-old Ecuador international midfielder and is pushing to get him to the club for pre-season training.
The reporter has said this week could be decisive in regard to a potential transfer.
What should Chelsea do about Moises Caicedo?
In our opinion, if £10 million is what is separating from Chelsea from get a deal done with Brighton and Hove Albion for Moises Caicedo, then the Blues should just pay it.
There is no point in Chelsea haggling over £10 million when they are willing to cough up £90 million for the Ecuador international midfielder who, according to former Liverpool star John Barnes, is a “fantastic” player.
If Pochettino personally wants the youngster, then the Chelsea bosses should pay the extra £10 million needed to close the deal.
