Chelsea
are expected to formally approach Brighton over the signing of midfielder
Moises Caicedo once a number of outgoing deals are finalised.
The departures of Kai Havertz to Arsenal, Edouard Mendy to Al Ahli, Hakim
Ziyech to Al Nassr and Kalidou Koulibaly to Al Hilal are understood to be
very close.
Chelsea have already agreed a £30m deal to sell Mateo Kovacic to Manchester
City as the clear-out at Stamford Bridge continues.
They also remain in talks with Villarreal over the signing of forward
Nicolas Jackson.
Sky Sports News has been told Chelsea are prepared to pay the €35m release
clause but are exploring a structured outlay.
It's thought Villarreal want the majority - if not all - paid up front.
Personal terms are not expected to be a problem.
