Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has admitted that he is desperate to join Chelsea.

Chelsea are currently in negotiations with Brighton for the transfer of the midfielder, with Brighton holding out for a £100million fee.

“It’s a big team, that’s true,” Caicedo told La Cancha Con Majo.

“A very historic team and I can’t say no because it is a very big, historic, beautiful team. The city as well is beautiful.”

He added: “It’s a very great emotion. What guy wouldn’t want them to be talking about him?

“I know how to handle it. I don’t get carried away by emotions. I’m enjoying time with my family for now. There is pressure, but I am calm.

“I am waiting for whatever God decides. He will know what is best for me.”

Caicedo joined Brighton for £4.5m in January 2021 and if they sell him for their current asking price, they’re set to make an enormous return of over £95m profit on the midfielder.
