A lot of top journalists are talking about various deals involving clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. Moises Caicedo has been a player on the radar of all three clubs. However, it has now been confirmed that the Red Devils have dropped out of the race to sign this player. So, it is just the Gunners and the Blues that are involved in the actual transfer saga now.
Below is the Tweet that confirmed the same!!

Further, there was a report that suggested that Chelsea is in the driving seat. And that personal terms with the player had been agreed to, already. If this is true, it could be the boost that Mauricio Pochettino needs at the West London club.

Next, Arsenal fan and wannabe journalist Eduardo Hagn also sent out a Tweet. This was regarding the comments on Fabrizio Romano recently. It was about the Caicedo deal and Arsenal’s interest in Declan Rice!!
🚨 @FabrizioRomano on Moisés Caicedo: “Chelsea are working to get him. They are there. Arsenal, after having bids rejected in January, are there. Right now, their priority is Declan Rice, though. From what I understand, Brighton want close to £80m.” 🇪🇨 pic.twitter.com/6yWFVhDGC8

One crucial take away from this final Tweet was the fact that the North London outfit could be forced more upfront. It seems that Brighton are very keen on the structure of payments. And this something Chelsea handle really well, while Arsenal don’t.
The Gunners like to spread the payments across several years. And this makes them lose out on multiple stars. However, they will not want that to happen this time. Otherwise, it could be another Mudryk deal in the making, with Chelsea signing the player once again.
What Next With Regards To The Caicedo Deal!?
Everyone is talking about this deal. At present, either club could sign him. It will be interesting to see, at the end of the day, how things further develop in this transfer saga. At the end of the day, Brighton are going to be the winners for sure!!
As per the rumours and claims, Caicedo is said to be a Chelsea fan. However, there is an interest from Arsenal too. They Gunners can offer Champions League football, while the Blues don’t have European football for the upcoming season. This could actually be a key factor for the player.
Things are really volatile and disrupted at present at Chelsea. There is no certainty at present. And the new regime is signing and selling players, left, right and centre. Also, Chelsea has a bad habit of sacking managers and then wasting the talent of players. This hurts many top stars, when a new manager comes in and does not want their services.
All these factors will be considered by Caicedo and his Entourage, before they make a switch. He was a first-choice player at Brighton. And will want more of the same, at whichever club he ends up at!! Let’s wait and watch and we at Beyond The Posts, will monitor this transfer saga closely!!
