Ben White, Leandro Trossard… who is next in that line? If reports from various transfer gurus are to be believed, it’s Moises Caicedo. Arsenal have bid $75 million for the classy Ecuadorian midfield dynamo.Speaking to the press ahead of his team’s FA Cup match with Manchester City, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta said he hopes to add a midfielder to his ranks before the January transfer window ends.”We need some more cover in midfield, ideally, if we can. But this market is complicated. But as I always say, the most important thing is we get the performances and the time on the pitch with the players we already have on the pitch are really good.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6979489##The 21-year-old Ecuador international is under contract at the Amex Stadium until the summer of 2025, and Brighton have proven they can extract maximum value from potential suitors interested in their players, having rejected Chelsea’s offer out of hand. Brighton previously rejected the $68 million from Chelsea and are not pressed to sell one of their best players. Caicedo said he was happy to stay at the south coast club. However, that quote was taken from the official Brighton website. They wouldn’t publish anything if the player said he wanted to leave.Daily Mail claims the midfielder is desperate to change clubs and that he’s prepared to submit a formal transfer request to secure his dream move to London. It remains to be seen whether he will feature for the Seagulls against Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday.Moises Caicedo highlights 🔥 pic.twitter.com/pNSnQVKZri— Arsenal Focus (@FocusArsenal) January 27, 2023 If the Mudryk money is burning a hole in Arsenal’s pockets, maybe Brighton will be its destination. It wouldn’t be the first time.
