Chelsea have seen a £70million bid rejected by Brighton for midfielder Moises Caicedo, who played alongside Marc Cucurella on the south coast. Brighton reportedly want £100million for Caicedo.

Cucurella hopes to see his old teammate join him at Chelsea this summer.

Cucurella said as quoted by Evening Standard: “I’ve read in the media that he wants to come here a lot of times!

“I have a good relationship with him. He is a top player and if he came here I think we would have a top midfielder for a long time.”
