Arsenal is reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation of Moises Caicedo, the midfielder who is said to be "keen to quit" his current club Brighton, despite recently signing a new contract. The Gunners had a tumultuous January window, failing to secure several top signings before opting for alternatives.
According to reports, the Ecuadorian midfielder was a top target for Arsenal during the last transfer window, and his pleas to the Seagulls to let him leave went unheeded. Arsenal made two bids, the highest of which was £70 million, before turning to Jorginho.
However, the North London club is still keen on acquiring the services of the talented midfielder and is said to be in the lead to sign him. Adding Caicedo to Arsenal's mix could provide them with an edge over other clubs, as the 21-year-old is quickly becoming one of the world's top holding midfielders.
Although Chelsea is also interested, they are not in as strong a position due to their current struggles. Regardless of whether Arsenal wins the league this season, the squad's core is expected to remain the same, allowing them to compete for the top spot again next year.
While Caicedo's decision to leave Brighton so soon after signing a new contract may raise some eyebrows and earn him a reputation for disloyalty, the midfielder is reportedly keen to move on to a bigger club.
Arsenal's young, talented squad is said to be a major draw for Caicedo, who expressed a desire to join the club in January. If the Gunners manage to secure his services, it would be a major coup for Mikel Arteta's side and could potentially help them challenge for silverware in the near future.
