Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Chelsea are leading the race to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo despite interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

According to various reports, Brighton want £80million for the 21 year old Ecuadorian midfielder.

Romano said: “Chelsea are working hard on Moisés Caicedo deal. Talks have been taking place for weeks. Nothing done yet.

“It has always been Chelsea frontrunners despite rumours of Arsenal bid in the last weeks. Arsenal focus remains on Declan Rice and Havertz.”

Meanwhile, according to a report on GOAL, AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan isn’t interested in a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

Maignan and Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana are both attracting interest from Chelsea with Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino keen on signing a goalkeeper this summer.

The report adds: “AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan won’t push for a move to Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window.

“Chelsea have been reportedly interested in making Maignan their new No.1 and have already seen an opening bid of €60m rejected by AC Milan.

“With Maignan not keen on the move, it will be difficult for Chelsea to sign him this summer.”
