JAKARTA - Chelsea is reportedly soon attracting Brighton and Hove Albion player, Moises Caicedo. In fact, the Blues are ready to break the Premier League player transfer record.

Chelsea will reportedly bring Caicedo from Brighton with a dowry of 115 million or equivalent to IDR 2.2 trillion.

Previously, Caicedo was Liverpool's target. Chelsea's rival in the English Premier League is also ready to break the transfer record to get the player's services.

However, Liverpool had to bite their fingers. The reason is, Caicedo firmly refused to move to Liverpool because he only wanted to move to Chelsea.

Now, Caicedo's wish is almost realized. The transfer agreement between Chelsea and Brighton is now very close.

Caicedo has shocked the Premier League since joining Brighton from Independiente del Valle, two years ago. The development of the 21-year-old player is very significant.

Since Brighton was handled by manager Roberto De Zerbi, Caicedo has become an irreplaceable pillar. That's what makes the Blues so attracted.

In fact, Chelsea has been chasing Ecuadorian internationals since January 2023. The interest is getting hotter after new manager Mauricio Pochettino said midfield was a priority on the stock exchange this summer.

Chelsea are in dire need of new midfielders following the departure of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante.
