Chelsea are attempting to bolster their midfield with the double signing of Brighton‘s Moises Caicedo and Tyler Adams from Leeds United, sources have told ESPN.
The Blues have had two bids rejected for Caicedo — the latest totalling £80 million ($101m) — but are expected to return with a third offer as confidence grows that an agreement can be reached.

Brighton have been holding out for a fee in excess of £100m but sources have told ESPN that Caicedo is pushing hard behind the scenes and wants to move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea want to sign two midfielders before the transfer window closes next month and have identified Adams as a leading candidate.
