‘Noises coming from Brighton’ Reporter drops big Arsenal update involving Moises Caicedo
According to Dharmesh Sheth, a reporter for Sky Sports who spoke to GIVEMESPORT, it may be challenging for Arsenal to acquire Moisés Caicedo, a midfielder from Brighton & Hove Albion, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite Arsenal’s continued interest in the 21-year-old following their unsuccessful attempt to sign him in the previous transfer window, Sheth explains that Caicedo’s current club is not compelled to sell him.
According to a recent report by CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal may make another attempt to sign Moisés Caicedo when the transfer window reopens. Additionally, Football Insider has suggested that Manchester United is interested in the 21-year-old midfielder and might make an offer of £80m, which Brighton could accept.
Given Arsenal’s qualification for the Champions League, Caicedo could be lured to the Emirates. However, despite his interest in a move, his transfer could be hindered by Brighton, who recently extended his contract at the Amex Stadium.
What Dharmesh Sheth has said about Moisés Caicedo and Arsenal
Sheth believes that the only way Moisés Caicedo could join Arsenal or any other club is if Brighton decides to sell him, and it would be on their terms. Sheth suggests that Brighton is under no obligation to sell Caicedo and could choose to keep him in their squad, making it difficult for other clubs, including Arsenal, to acquire him.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the Sky Sports reporter said: “Declan Rice seems to be the one who’s the primary target. Will they go back in for Moisés Caicedo, or will other clubs start to test Brighton’s resolve as well?
“I mean, I think the noises coming from Brighton, especially from their chief executive Paul Barber, is that there’s no release clause in the new contract that Moisés Caicedo has signed. So Brighton are under no real pressure again to sell Moisés Caicedo at all. And if you look at what they’re doing so far this season, I mean a top-four finish, I know it’s going to be a big ask, but that can’t be ruled out 100% just now.
“And maybe the ambitions of someone like Moisés Caicedo and others might be served at Brighton. They’ve had an absolutely fantastic season; they’ve got a fantastic manager. So you can’t rule out Brighton being in a position where they suddenly say, ‘No, no. We’re fine, actually. We’re going to start keeping these players that are being linked with all of these clubs.’
“But we do know that every player has a price and Brighton, they will strike a hard bargain. They always have and so if any of their players are going to leave, it will be on their terms and they will get the money that they want.”
