Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea are reportedly confident of getting a deal done for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.
Journalist Rudy Galetti has told GiveMeSport that Chelsea are interested in signing Moises Caicedo from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
The journalist has claimed that Chelsea “remain confident” of signing the 21-year-old midfielder and are working hard to come to an agreement with Brighton over the youngster.
Galetti said: “The situation with Chelsea and Caicedo basically hasn’t changed in these last few days.
“In fact, Chelsea remain confident they will reach an agreement with Brighton for Moises, and they are working hard in this direction to close all the gaps in the negotiations with Brighton.”
Could Chelsea sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion?
In our opinion, Chelsea could be able to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
It seems that the Blues are confident, which suggests that they must have got some positive indications.
Italia journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Caicedo himself wants to move to Chelsea.
There is speculation that Brighton want £80 million for the youngster.
So, if Chelsea do offer that sum, then they would be able to bring Caicedo to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023.
Caicedo is one of the best young midfielders around who did extremely well for the Seagulls last season.
The Brighton no. 25 made 34 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League last season.
Caicedo scored one goal and gave one assist in those games.
