Arsenal still interested in signing South American star

Arsenal are still interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Gunners wanted to land the Ecuador international in the last transfer window but Brighton refused to sanction his exit.

The north London side were willing to pay around £70 million for his services but the Seagulls were determined to keep him.

It is now reported that the Gunners are still keen on the 21-year-old but they are not alone as other English clubs are also keeping a watch.

He said: "Arsenal are still interested in Caicedo, but they’re not alone; there are more English clubs keeping an eye on his situation."

Caicedo signed a new long-term deal recently but this is unlikely to stop him from leaving the Seagulls at the end of the season.

Brighton won't let him go on the cheap and they are expected to demand close to £100m to sanction his sale in the summer.

Chelsea and Manchester United also have their sights on Caicedo.
