Chelsea have been linked with a move for the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo, a target for Liverpool.
According to a report from The Guardian, Chelsea have turned their attention towards the Ecuador international Moises Caicedo after failing to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder is also a target for Liverpool.
The Blues were reportedly keen on signing the Argentine international this month but they have failed to agree on a deal with Benfica. Apparently, the Portuguese outfit are holding out for €120 million for the 21-year-old central midfielder, and the Blues are unwilling to accept their demands.
Caicedo has played under Graham Potter during their time together at Brighton. So it is no surprise that the Chelsea manager is looking for a reunion. Potter signed the 21-year-old for Brighton and nurtured him into one of the most exciting midfield talents in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether the Blues can convince Brighton to sell the player this month.
Caicedo has established himself as a key player for Brighton and could prove to be a sensational long-term signing for Chelsea. The Blues could lose players like Jorginho and N’Golo Kante at the end of the season, and they will need to bring in adequate replacements.
The 21-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-class player and has emerged as a viable target for Chelsea. The Ecuador international is likely to cost far less compared to Enzo Fernandez and has the potential to justify the fee in the long run.
The midfielder knows Potter well and he should be able to fit into his system at Stamford Bridge quickly and make an immediate impact. Chelsea have been quite active during the January transfer window, strengthening their squad with the signings of David Fofana, Andrey Santos, Joao Felix and Benoit Badiashile.
It seems that Chelsea are keen on bringing in another attacker and a central midfielder before the January transfer window closes. Marcus Thuram is reportedly on their radar as a potential attacking option. Meanwhile, Caicedo has been linked with clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham as well.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can fend off competition from their Premier League rivals and secure his services. For now, the Blues are lining up a move for the Ecuadorian international to beat Liverpool and others to his signature.
Liverpool are need midfield reinforcements, and the 21-year-old Brighton ace has been identified as a potential target. Jurgen Klopp will need to replace players like Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner at the end of the season. They will need to bring in more than just one central midfielder in the coming months and the signing of Caicedo would be a good start.
