Arsenal end interest in Moises Caicedo?

Arsenal could focus on signing West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice over Moises Caicedo this summer.

The Gunners were eager to land the Ecuadorian star last month, but Brighton & Hove Albion made it clear that he was not for sale.

It is now reported that the north London giants could give more importance to landing Rice over Caicedo in the next transfer window.

Rice and Caicedo are defensive midfielders by trade and the Gunners are unlikely to sign both players at the end of the campaign.

It should be one of them and Rice seems the more suitable target.

The England international is vastly experienced compared to Caicedo, who only made his Premier League debut towards the end of last season.

The 24-year-old could be available for around £90 million this summer, considering he has no plans of putting pen-to-paper on a new contract.

Chelsea are also interested in the England star, but the Gunners may have an advantage as he is eager to play Champions League football.
