Plan boosts Chelsea’s hopes of signing Brighton’s CaicedoChelsea progressing over Jackson and could bid for Veiga
Arsenal are targeting the Southampton midfielder Roméo Lavia after deciding to leave the path clear for Chelsea to push forward with a move for Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo.
Mikel Arteta wants to sign two midfielders and his first priority is a deal for the West Ham captain, Declan Rice. West Ham are holding out for at least £100m, having rejected Arsenal’s opening offer of £80m plus add-ons, and that transfer would take a hefty chunk out of Arteta’s budget.
