Club in negotiations with Brighton over midfielderChelsa kick off campaign against Liverpool on Sunday
Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Moisés Caicedo from Brighton and are trying to agree a deal in time for the midfielder to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Caicedo is Mauricio Pochettino’s top target this summer and talks between the clubs are understood to have progressed this week. Brighton have been holding out for at least £100m for the Ecuador international but it is unclear if Chelsea will agree to pay that much. Chelsea have been trying to negotiate a lower fee and their most recent bid was worth £80m.
