Chelsea completes Caicedo's transfer.
Chelsea is wrapping up negotiations to sign Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton.
The South Coast club declined to sell the Ecuadorian international during the January transfer window, despite his desire to join Arsenal.
Instead, he was given a new contract with the caveat that, if the going rate was appropriate, he could go to a bigger club in the summer.
The Gunners had been expected to renew their interest in the Ecuadorian midfielder, but they have since withdrew it in favour of focusing on trying to get Declan Rice from West Ham.
The 21-year-old will likely fetch more than £70 million, according to Brighton.
If he completes his transfer to Stamford Bridge, he would be Chelsea's first significant acquisition of the summer.
It is believed that he and Enzo Fernandez can work well together in the Chelsea midfield next season, providing the Argentinean more flexibility to wander about the pitch.
