The player in question is Brighton midfielder, Moises Caicedo.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided this update on the Blues’ pursuit of the midfielder on Saturday:
“Once everything settles down [with outgoings], then Chelsea will work on the [Moises] Caicedo deal,” Romano wrote.
“There are no changes to previous updates. Chelsea want Caicedo, they’re gonna push to sign him. I can’t predict the future but the player is only negotiating with Chelsea at this stage. Everything is calm with the Brighton player at the moment. No need for panic.”
Arsenal were heavy linked with Caicedo earlier this year and are reported to have seen three bids rejected for him in January. However, the Gunners have now turned their attention towards the signings of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
Manchester United were also linked, though their interest appeared less concrete than Arsenal’s.
