Brighton star Moises Caicedo is said to have attracted interest from Premier League top clubs Chelsea and Liverpool
Brighton star Moisés Caicedo is among the most talented central midfielders in the Premier League. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian shines both in the club and in the national team with consistently strong performances and could soon take the next step.
Whenever a young player plays at one of the Premier League-When middle-class clubs make a splash, it doesn’t take long for the top clubs to start chasing them. Sky Sports England according to the Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC these already included. The 2021 and 2019 Champions League winners are said to be interested in the youngster’s services, although there have been no formal talks as of now. However, this could change in the coming weeks.
Winter transfer unlikely: Brighton beckons millions of rain in summer
A transfer during the winter break is unlikely as the player is tied to Brighton until 2025 and the club has no interest in letting the midfield hope go now. A change in the summer would be much more realistic. The Ecuadorian has settled into the Brighton midfield following his Belgium loan and is aiming for even bigger tasks.
It is doubtful whether the step would be right in the coming summer. With 22 Premier League games so far, Caicedo is of course still a little green behind the ears. As great as his talent and as strong as his performances, another year would surely do no harm to Brighton. Here he could continue to gain match practice and grow as a leading player. However, it would be in Premier League style for the move to be completed in the summer of 2023 – and for a staggering fee.
