After White and Trossard, Arteta Will Finish His Brighton Raid With A Swoop For Premier League’s Next Big Thing
Arsenal completed the signing of wantaway Brighton forward Leandro Trossard last week. That deal has many Gooners ecstatic.
On Sunday, in Arsenal’s win over Manchester United, the 28-year-old displayed a flash of brilliance that justified Arsenal’s willingness to pay £27 million for him.
If you thought Arsenal’s business with Brighton was over, think again. Noting that they signed Ben White and then Trossard a few days ago, Fabrizio Romano reports that the Gunners are keeping a close eye on Brighton’s midfield powerhouse Moises Caicedo with a view to signing him.
On his Twitter handle, Romano wrote “Official. Moises Caicedo has picked Futbol Division as new agents — it’s now confirmed by agency statement.
“One to watch in the final days of Jan window — Brighton want to keep him, but Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are well informed on Moises situation
“Moises Caicedo has already made his decision regarding his new agents — been told will be Manuel Sierra (Futbol Division) and Ali Barat, who already represent Hincapie from Bayer.”
Arsenal’s need for a dependable midfielder is well known. Many fans would be upset if the transfer window closed without a reliable central midfielder being signed. Caicedo is regarded as the Premier League’s next big thing in midfield. With his midfield. With his quality, skill, and age, he resembles an Arsenal player, but the question is whether Arsenal can afford him.

From your mouth to Karma’s ears. Hopefully by the actions of grace and fortune we can get him even in this window. Imagine Caicedo and Declan Rice at the club next season. This squad is growing strong branches that will help us for years. The “Miracle of Ashburton Grove” may become folklore in years to come. Unforseen good fortune. The club’s name ‘Arsenal’ is shining again with magical luminosity. May it last for many years.
Edu is just using caicedo to divert attention from the real player he is working. It’s gonna be surprised
I agree with you. I read Onana to Arsenal rumours and now Chelsea is also going for him. Does Chelsea even have scouts?. Bunch of losers.
He’d be a quality addition in midfield tbh
Caicedo would be a pleasant surprise but Brighton value him at £100M and the talk is £75M is the starting point. There is just no way we will fork out that amount of money on top of what we have already spent, especially in this transfer window
Good player but honestly can’t see it happening.
Too expensive and Brighton really want to keep him.
Factor in that he won’t be guaranteed playing time with us and Chelsea are involved who will outbid anyone and it’s a no go.
he’s just too expensive. Ideally a player on loan would be best but not a good market for a CDM right now. Club will have to be clever. But not holding my breath at all that we splash 75mill+ on this player.
I agree that MC is 2 expensive for this window,
unless Brighton would be interested in a Sambi,
Reis Nelson of Holding + CASH scenario.
I concede it would be a roll of the dice but if
Everton are unwillingness to move on from Onana
Edu & MA should turn to Ibrahimi Bamba. The
young Italian is a TRUE DM, possessing the
necessary aggressive, combative attributes of the
position as well as a refined defensive awareness
to protect the back four. He is relentless in his
commitment to tackle and winning back
possession and displays enough technical ability
to move and carry the ball forward from defense.
I concede it would be a HUGE jump for the young
lad. but his potential ceiling @ the Emirates under
the watchful eye of MA is limitless IMWO.
BIG fan of the young man
