Moises Caicedo

Arsenal are growing in confidence they can sign Declan Rice this summer, regardless of whether they sign Moises Caicedo this month.

Moises Caicedo will be excluded from training with Brighton until the transfer window ends, after making a social media transfer request in light of Arsenal’s bid for him.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have submitted a £60m offer for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo as they aim to secure his signature before the transfer deadline but David Ornstein has already said the bid has been rejected.

Arsenal are considering a move for Brighton and Hove Albion’s Moises Caicedo this month, but he would be an expensive addition to the squad.

Arsenal could compete with Chelsea for Moises Caicedo and Amadou Onana in the coming transfer windows, according to reports.

Brighton and Hove Albion will be without five players when Arsenal visit at the weekend, with Roberto De Zerbi confirming two further absences.

Brighton will be missing Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister against Arsenal, but Danny Welbeck could return in time for the game.
