Arsenal learn Moises Caicedo price as fans complain transfer will cost ‘almost as much as Bellingham’
ARSENAL already knew how much it would cost them to acquire Moises Caicedo after Brighton set their asking price.
Caicedo, who starred in Brighton's 1-0 win over Manchester United, was the subject of a £70m offer from the Gunners in the January transfer window.

However, the Seagulls turned down that offer and Caicedo remains a key part of Roberto de Zerbi's South Coast facility after signing a new long-term contract until 2027.
But now, Brighton have put their asking price on all potential midfield players.
According to Sky Sports, they will expect offers "much higher" than the £70m offer Arsenal submitted in January. The report adds that Brighton will not stand in the way of the 21-year-old if a suitable offer arrives this summer.
Arsenal have maintained their interest in Caicedo, with the Ecuador international believed to be one of the top names on Mikel Arteta's six-man summer shopping list.
Caicedo's steady form this season has also attracted interest from clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Reacting to the news online, one Twitter user said:
“Bellingham won't go any further than that.
"Good player but I would be disappointed if we pay this price for him after saying Jude is too expensive."

The second person types:
"Caicedo is not worth £100m. Yes, it's good, but it's just a hoax."

The third person wrote:
"If Brighton asks for more than £100m for Caicedo, we should walk. He doesn't deserve it and neither does Declan Rice."
The same policy applies to fellow Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister, who is said to be in talks with Man Utd over a transfer.
