Arsenal receive bad news in their pursuit of their central midfield target
Arsenal have been linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion central midfielder Moises Caicedo in the past and it now looks like they’ve received bad news on this.

Arsenal has received disappointing news in their pursuit of Moises Caicedo, as the latest update on his future suggests that the young midfielder is now being courted by Chelsea and Brighton. Football transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano shared this development on Twitter, stating that negotiations are underway between the two clubs to determine the transfer fee.
At just 21 years old, Caicedo has already made a name for himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. His impressive performances have been instrumental in Brighton’s rise to sixth position on the league table. It comes as no surprise that several top clubs are vying for his signature.
Arsenal had been keen on securing Caicedo’s services, but it seems their hopes have been dashed with this latest update. The negotiations between Chelsea and Brighton are said to be ongoing, with both clubs looking to find a suitable solution as soon as possible. It remains unclear what the final transfer fee will be, but it is expected that add-ons will also be included in any potential deal.
For Arsenal, this news comes as a blow to their plans for strengthening their midfield. Caicedo’s dynamic playing style and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively would have been a valuable addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad. However, it seems they will now have to turn their attention elsewhere in search of midfield reinforcements.

As negotiations continue between Chelsea and Brighton, fans of all three clubs eagerly await further updates on the situation. The final outcome of this transfer saga will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Premier League landscape, as Caicedo’s talent and potential make him a highly sought-after player.
In the meantime, Arsenal will need to regroup and reassess their options in the transfer market. While missing out on Caicedo is undoubtedly disappointing, there are still several other talented midfielders available who could bolster their squad. It remains to be seen how they will respond to this setback and whether they can secure an alternative target to strengthen their midfield ranks.
