Chelsea
and Liverpool are interested in signing Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.
Formal talks have yet to take place, but the 21-year-old is on the radar of
the Premier League duo after his impressive performances with Ecuador at the
2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Brighton have no intention of parting with Caicedo in January and are under
no pressure to sell, with the midfielder under contract at the Amex Stadium
until 2025.
Caicedo started Ecuador's three World Cup games, scoring in the 2-1 defeat
to Senegal as they failed to qualify out of Group A.
Brighton signed Caicedo from Independiente del Valle for £5m in February
2021 when Graham Potter was in charge.
Hincapie also on Chelsea radar
Chelsea are interested in Bayer Leverkusen central defender Piero Hincapie.
The Ecuador international is seen as a potential alternative to RB Leipzig's
Josko Gvardiol.
Hincapie, who is contracted until the summer of 2026, played all of
Ecuador's group games at the World Cup.
