‘Interesting development’: Journalist suggests there could be a twist in Chelsea’s pursuit of 21-year-old player

Reported Chelsea target Moises Caicedo is set to change agents ahead of a possible move to Stamford Bridge.

According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder ‘will join a new agency this month’, a move he described as a ‘interesting development’.

Sheth also claimed that Chelsea remained ‘interested’ in Caicedo, having been linked with him throughout the season.

Todd Boehly is apparently looking in the direction of the Ecuador international as he attempts to rebuild Graham Potter’s midfield.

Boehly has already seemingly attempted to sign Enzo Fernandez this month, a transaction with Benfica that is proving to be far from straight forward.

If the Chelsea owner fails to land Fernandez in January, he may be forced to turn to other options in the Argentine’s position.

Whilst Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are said to be high on the wish list, Caicedo sounds like the more viable option right now.

Not only because Chelsea could easily buy out Brighton for their 21-year-old, but also because it’s been claimed he’d be keen to set sail for South West London.

Although the Seagulls are currently flying above the Blues in the Premier League, the promise of Champions League football at least for this season might be too hard to turn down.
