Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi has aimed dig at Chelsea’s lack of European football next season while discussing Chelsea’s interest in signing Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea have already had two bids for Caicedo rejected by Brighton, with the latest a £70million bid from the Blues.

De Zerbi said as quoted by GOAL: “Caicedo stays with us until my owner changes his mind. I have no idea of what can happen in the future — but if Moises leaves we have to find the right player.

“We have to substitute him with a great player because this year we play in the Europa League, unlike Chelsea.”
