Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino personally wants to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion, according to a report.

Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has told GiveMeSport that new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has specifically asked his bosses to get him midfielder Moises Caicedo from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

The reporter has added that with French midfielder N’Golo Kante now looking likely to leave, the potential signing of Caicedo is “becoming an urgency” for Chelsea.

Kante is out of contract at Chelsea this summer and reportedly has interest from Saudi Arabia.

Galetti said: “Pochettino specifically asked for the Brighton player to strengthen the midfield and now with Kante’s farewell, Moises is becoming an urgency.”

Could Chelsea sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion?

In our opinion, Chelsea could be able to sign Moises Caicedo from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

Earlier this month, The Guardian reported that Chelsea are keen on the 21-year-old Ecuador international midfielder.

Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in Caicedo, who, according to The Guardian, will cost £80 million in transfer fees this summer.

So, if Chelsea are really keen on the youngster, then they could be able to get him for £80 million.

Yes, Chelsea will have to convince Caicedo as well about a potential move to Stamford Bridge.

With no UEFA Champions League football next season, it may be a bit tricky, but Chelsea are a big club and a global brand, and they have enough pulling power.
