Arsenal in talks with Brigton midfielder Caicedo camp for January move

Fabrizio Romano claims that Arsenal and Moises Caicedo's new agents are now "discussing business."

The Arsenal are "fully informed" on the Brighton player, the transfer source claimed on his YouTube channel.

Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior were two players whom Arsenal acquired during the January transfer window.

Additionally, there have been positive rumors about the Arsenal and Real Valladolid full-back Ivan Fresneda.

Now it appears like Arsenal is making strides in its chase of a young star in the Premier League.

After Yves Bissouma moved to Arsenal's North London rivals, Caicedo had a fantastic season at Brighton.

“I always mention Moises Caicedo as an option for Chelsea and he’s one of the players in Chelsea’s list,” said the Italian.

“But Liverpool and Arsenal are having conversations with people close to the player, because Moises Caicedo has new agents since Monday."

The Seagulls rejected a £55 million proposal from the Blues last week, according to a story in The Mirror.

According to speculation, Chelsea might increase their bid to more closely match the £65 million the south coast club is seeking.

This week, Caicedo also switched agencies, and some of his suitors seem to be digging a little further now. 

Fabrizio Romano added: “Now these clubs are exploring the conditions of the Caicedo deal but its complicated to negotiate with Brighton.

“Brighton want to keep the player, De Zerbi would love to keep the player at the club so not an easy one.

“But Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are well informed on Caicedo.”
