Arsenal are reportedly still determined to seal the transfer of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after bidding for him in January.
The Ecuador international recently signed a new contract with Brighton, but it seems he’s also still keen on a big move this summer, with Arsenal alongside the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in targeting him, according to Football Insider.
Arsenal couldn’t get a deal done for Caicedo in January, so ended up moving for Jorginho instead, but Mikel Arteta will surely still be keen to bring in a younger player in that area of the pitch.
Jorginho recently turned 31, while Granit Xhaka is 30 and Thomas Partey will turn 30 this summer, so there’s clearly a need for a more long-term option in that position.
Caicedo has been immense for Brighton, so looks like an ideal choice for Arsenal, but Football Insider report that he’s likely to cost around £90million.
It remains to be seen if anyone will pay quite that much for the 21-year-old, but it could end up being a good investment in the long run, as he could be one of the finest midfielders in the world for the next decade or so.
