Moises Caicedo wants to join Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea amid interest from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, according to a report.
Football Transfers have reported that Arsenal target and Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo is keen on a move to Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old Ecuador international midfielder is looking for £200,000 per week as salary, and Chelsea are ready to pay it.
Arsenal are also interested in the youngster, but the prospect of getting more money at Chelsea has reportedly helped Caicedo make up his mind regarding a switch to the Blues over a transfer to the Gunners.
What should Arsenal do about Chelsea target Moises Caicedo?
In our view, if Arsenal are not willing to pay £200,000 per week to Moises Caicedo, then they should not be pressured into doing so because Chelsea are ready to pay him that kind of money.
Arsenal have a wage structure, and we do not think that the Gunners should break it, especially for someone who is only 21.
If Caicedo wants to join Chelsea over Arsenal because of more money on offer, then so be it.
The 21-year-old made 34 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Brighton lats season.
Caicedo scored one goal and gave one assist in those matches.
