Arsenal transfer news: The Gunners have been given confidence of completing a transfer they failed with earlier this season.
Brighton once again look set to lose at least one of their star players heading into the summer as a mass bidding war starts for Roberto De Zerbi's key men.
He was told not to attend training until the window was over, Arsenal didn't meet the lofty £80million ($101million) valuation and things ended abruptly. Despite the uproar at the time, Caicedo has returned to club action seamlessly and has been proving his worth with performances at right-back as well as several roles across the midfield.
Alexis Mac Allister only agreed a new deal until 2025 in October 2022 but the Argentine has a 'good chance' to leave already this summer with Liverpool in pole position to sign him. The Athletic's David Ornstein writes that he has a release clause in his deal - though it is not the typical type - and could hand Brighton more power in the market.
Arsenal had also been considering a move for Mac Allister after the Argentine's continued control in midfield across the World Cup and domestic action. It is reported that offers of £70million ($88.4million) will be enough to get Mac Allister to move.
The centre of midfield is a key position for Arsenal to look at this summer after shortcomings in recent weeks have left them clinging onto hopes of winning the league rather than being in command of their own destiny.
Mac Allister might be out of reach now but as his contract stance has shown, it doesn't mean that Caicedo will be moving forward.

Any player Arsenal are looking at to replace Xhaka should already be out scoring Xhaka, have quality in both feet, be a leader like or more so than Xhaka and has a far better passing accuracy and range than Xhaka. They should also be a play maker. Of the players mentioned only Mac Allister comes close.
