Chelsea will reportedly make one last push to land Moises Caicedo.

According to 90min, the Blues are going to push Brighton & Hove Albion to the final hours of the window for their midfielder.

Caicedo has captured the attention of the Stamford Bridge chain of command throughout the January window.

They fully turned their focus to the ‘magnificent’ Ecuador international after it appeared a deal for Enzo Fernandez would never materialise.

Brighton even rejected a £55m bid from Chelsea earlier in the month for the midfielder.

Yet, even with a move for Fernandez now potentially back on the table, Todd Boehly and his team have not halted their pursuit of Caicedo.

90min claim that a fresh offer in excess of £75m could be sent the way of the Seagulls from the South West London club.

It really will be a test of Brighton’s nerve if such a significant figure is thrust in their direction.

They are no strangers to excepting big fees from the capital city big boys.

Graham Potter’s former employers sold Marc Cucurella to Chelsea last summer for £60m.

Before that, Ben White was sold to Arsenal for £50m.

Caicedo could earn them an even greater profit, who landed at the Amex in 2021 from Independiente del Valle for just £4.5m.
