Chelsea transfer news: Moises Caicedo has been linked with a move to Chelsea, who are the frontrunners ahead of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United in the race
Chelsea are the clear frontrunners and favourites in the race to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo in the summer transfer window, as talks continue over a move.
They haven't been the only team showing interest though as the likes of West Ham and Crystal Palace have also been linked with a switch. The Blues will likely have to bolster their options in the central ranks first though, with a move for Caicedo top of the agenda in the coming weeks.
“I’ve read in the media that he wants to come here a lot of times," the Spaniard said. "I have a good relationship with him. He is a top player and if he came here I think we would have a top midfielder for a long time.”
With reports of competition from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, Chelsea seem to hold the advantage over their rivals. That is reflected in the latest odds from bookmakers Betfair, who currently have the Blues as clear favourites in the transfer race.
They are ranked as 1/9 favourites ahead of Manchester United at 9/2, Liverpool at 11/2, Newcastle at 10/1 and Arsenal at 11/1 in the rankings. It shows just how favoured they are to land the 21-year-old this summer in a huge opportunity to bolster their midfield ranks.
