Transfer: Chelsea Target Brighton’s Caicedo to Reinforce midfield
Chelsea have turned their attention to pursuing Brighton’s Moises Caicedo after they were left frustrated in their attempts to sign Enzo Fernandez.
After failing to agree on a fee with Benfica for Fernandez, Chelsea are looking at potential alternatives to the midfielder. According to The Guardian, the west London side have earmarked Caicedo as an alternative to the Argentine and feel that they can pull off this deal in the January transfer window.

With N’Golo Kante still injured and Jorginho’s long-term future up in the air, Potter views Caicedo, his former pupil at Brighton, as the perfect choice. Chelsea are also interested in Alexis Mac Allister, but prising the 2022 World Cup winner away from the Seagulls will be more difficult as he recently signed an extension with Brighton. The Blues are now considering submitting a bid for Caicedo, who has flourished since breaking into the first team last season after moving to the Premier League from Independiente two years ago.
