TOP STORY: Brighton wary Chelsea’s Caicedo interest

Brighton are set to trigger contract talks with Moises Caicedo amid concerns over a possible approach from Chelsea, writes the Sun.

The Blues were linked with the 20-year-old midfielder in the summer, and after Graham Potter made the switch from the Amex Stadium to Stamford Bridge, the Seagulls believe that he could be tempted away from the club in a move that sees him follow his former manager in January.

The Ecuador international has caught the attention of a number of clubs this season after his performances in the Premier League have helped his side into fourth place. It is reported that he could now be offered a significant salary increase in a bid to encourage him to remain on the south coast.

Caicedo has become a regular starter for Brighton since joining in February for £4.5 million from Independiente del Valle, after Yves Bissouma‘s place in midfield was freed up by his move to Tottenham Hotspur.
