The battle to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton for the forthcoming summer transfer window has taken a major shift for Arsenal and Chelsea. With manager Roberto De Zerbi admitting that possibility at the end of the season, the Ecuadorian international appears destined to depart the Seagulls in the coming weeks.
“For sure we will lose some players, maybe [Moises] Caicedo and [Alexis] Mac Allister,” the Italian coach told Sky Sports. “We have to be ready to bring in more good players and for the others; [Kaoru] Mitoma, [Pervis] Estupinan, I think for them the best solution is to stay with us.”
