Jose Enrique has posted on his Instagram story ‘not again’ after he was reacting to transfer claims that, both Arsenal and Chelsea have expressed an interest in Moises Caicedo.
The 21-year-old is the next big thing coming off the never-ending production line of talent being produced by the Premier League’s overachievers, Brighton and Hove Albion.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are sitting at the top of the Premier League table and they are keen to bolster their midfield, with Caicedo a player well on their radar.
But across London, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly isn’t putting down his chequebook yet because they are also interested in Caicedo before the January transfer window slams shut.
Arsenal and Chelsea have been here before and a certain Mykhailo Mudryk is a prime example of that.
For weeks and weeks, everyone, even Chelsea supporters, thought the Ukraine star was headed to the Emirates, only for the West London club to swoop in at the last minute and secure his talents instead.
Could the same happen again? Because both are keen on Caicedo, perhaps the roles will reverse this time?!
CAICEDO SHOULD STAY AT BRIGHTON
Brighton are rightfully chilling in a European place and in with a real shout of securing a top-seven finish under Roberto De Zerbi this season.
It would be even crazier if they finished above Graham Potter’s Chelsea given that he swapped roles before the World Cup.
Either way, someone like Caicedo should hold fire for now and try to help the Seagulls into Europe, before making a more measured call on his future in the summer.
