Wow! Headline-act informs board ‘he wants to join Chelsea’ after £111M offer accepted

Brighton star Moises Caicedo has told Liverpool that he only wants to join Chelsea this summer.

The Reds had a £111million bid for the midfielder accepted on Thursday night, after the Blues failed to meet the asking price of the midfielder over the last few months.

Caicedo was due in the north-west on Friday to complete a medical with Liverpool, but the Ecuador international was having second thoughts over a move to Liverpool and has now made up his mind about his next move.

WHAT IS THE LATEST – 

Fabrizio Romano says the 21-year-old has now informed Liverpool that he only wants to join CHELSEA this transfer window.

It means the saga has taken another astonishing twist, with the ball back in Chelsea’s court if they are prepared to meet the £111 million asking fee that Liverpool have reportedly made.

But amid all the speculation – Former Chelsea star Glen Johnson says Moises Caicedo is not worth £100million.

“Caicedo is obviously a good player but it’s starting to look a little expensive,” the ex-England defender told Compare.bet.

“It’s typical, Brighton know they’re only going to get one opportunity to sell him, so obviously they’re going to try and wait for the best deal possible and maybe hope for another big club to come in with an offer to push the price up.

“I think if CHELSEA were getting Caicedo for £75m, I’d say it was a great deal.

“But if you’re spending £100m-plus, then you’re spending £30m more than you should have done.”

WE AGREE WITH JOHNSON – 

Caicedo is a very good midfielder – there is no doubt about that guys – but he has done nothing in the game except have a very good season for Brighton last year.

It is made the amount of money that is being offered and we just believe that he is not worth it – not yet.
