According to Football Transfers via the Hard Tackle, Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia is keen to move to Arsenal over Chelsea or Liverpool.

The 19-year-old Belgium international enjoyed a brilliant debut season at Southampton following his exit from Manchester City last summer and is attracting interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

While Chelsea are interested in signing Lavia this summer, the Blues are focused on signing Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, who has already agreed personal terms with the Blues.

The Brighton midfielder is a key transfer target for Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, who is keen on signing a midfield partner for Enzo Fernandez.
