Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stated that Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo is a concrete option for Chelsea this January.

The Blues have had a £55million offer for Caicedo rejected by Brighton this January with Graham Potter’s former club demanding for a fee of around £75million for the midfielder.

Romano also acknowledged it is always tough negotiating with Brighton, especially in the January transfer window.

Romano told GiveMeSport: “I still think that Moises Caicedo is a concrete option for Chelsea. Not an easy one because, with Brighton, it is always tough to negotiate, especially in January.”

Caicedo has made 18 Premier League appearances for Brighton this season. He has won 105 duels this campaign, helping Brighton to transition from defence to attack swiftly.
