Moises Caicedo twist
According to Fabrizio Romano though, the pursuit of Moises Caicedo may have taken a twist in the previous few days. The reporter claims that Chelsea are currently leading the race to sign the Brighton star ahead of Arsenal and Manchester United, though it is still open at this stage.

There's still some way to go in the race to sign the midfielder though, so it remains to be seen how the saga plays out.
