Chelsea have not given up on signing Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo during the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports.

Brighton reportedly do not want to sell and are under no pressure to, with Caicedo having two-and-a-half years left on his contract.

Chelsea director of global talent and transfers Paul Winstanley was involved in bringing Caicedo to Brighton when he was head of recruitment at the AMEX.

Caicedo has started 17 of Brighton’s 18 Premier League games this season and was also a key member of Ecuador’s World Cup squad.

Brighton signed Caicedo from Independiente del Valle for £5m in February 2021 when current Chelsea head coach Graham Potter was in charge.
