Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi has, on Sunday evening, cast doubt over the futures of two key members of his squad.
The players in question? Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.
Brighton, of course, were back in action a short time ago, producing a dazzling display en route to putting title-chasing Arsenal to the sword by three goals to nil at The Emirates.
Both Caicedo and Mac Allister, meanwhile, played starring roles, shining from their respective berths in the middle of the park.
Moisés Caicedo’s game by numbers vs. Arsenal:
◉ Most duels won (14)
◉ Most tackles made (5)
◉ Most fouls won (5)
◎ 67 touches
◎ 14 duels won

With speculation surrounding the futures of both continuing to spread like wildfire in the media, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of their potential summer departures was put to the aforementioned De Zerbi.
And Brighton’s headmaster was not at all shy in admitting that Caicedo – in the sights of Arsenal and Chelsea, and Mac Allister – on the wishlist at Liverpool, could soon be on the move.

“For sure we will lose some players [this summer], maybe Caicedo & Mac Allister.” 🔵 #BHAFC pic.twitter.com/bixzst8bmi
