Chelsea ‘working hard’ to wrap up £75 million signing –

Chelsea are the ‘frontrunners’ to land Moises Caicedo, Fabrizio Romano has claimed.

Chelsea are very much interested in a deal for the impressive Caicedo – as they feel that they need to add another box-to-box midfielder to the squad to help ease the pressure on their midfield

Chelsea had a £60million opening offer knocked back in the January window for the 21-year-old with Albion owner Tony Bloom not wanting to sell – but the Blues will look to add to their squad at the end of the summer and he is on the shopping list.

He has also featured on the wishlists of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, but Mauricio Pochettino has reported asked for the signing of Caicedo as a N’Golo Kante replacement,

Now – Romano has opened up and claimed that the Blues have been discussing a deal for Caicedo for several weeks and are working hard to get it over the line.

Romano Tweeted: ‘Chelsea are working hard on Moisés Caicedo deal. Talks have been taking place for weeks. Nothing done yet.’

Despite the fact that Caicedo is a very good footballer – he is not worth the money that is being talked about – this is crazy. Why spend so much money on a player that will probably be on the bench?

He has been very good for Brighton this season – but it is a massive step up to play for a club like CHELSEA, especially with everything that is going on with the Blues.

But if Chelsea really want him – and we mean REALLY WANT HIM – then they have the financial power to pay what it takes to get a transfer deal done.

And they also have the lure for a player like Caicedo – so it will be an easy deal to get wrapped up that is for sure.
