Arsenal keeping tabs on Declan Rice’s alternative from Brighton

Midfielder Moises Caicedo of Brighton & Hove Albion will be monitored by Arsenal

Declan Rice of West Ham United, however, is expected to be the Arsenal’s top goal during the summer transfer window, according to Collings. Arsenal are still trying to acquire Caicedo, according to Football Insider, after failing to do so in January.

It was reported in The Independent at the time that Brighton appraised the 21-year-old at £90 million, but it wouldn’t be shocking if it has since increased. Caicedo recently extended his deal at the Amex Stadium, extending his time there through 2027.

“For the team, our supporters, myself, and most especially Moises, this is wonderful news. As we advance towards our goals on the field, it will strengthen us “According to Brighton’s official website, Roberto De Zerbi. Collings believes Arsenal will continue to monitor Caicedo, but he does not believe they will make him a top goal this summer.

It appears improbable. Although they made it obvious they wanted him during the January transfer window, it now seems like Rice will take precedence. The Ecuadorian has once more signed a new long-term contract at Brighton, offering the Seagulls even more negotiating power in the event of a sale. In other words, they would likely charge him too much to relocate this summer.

Overall, even though Caicedo may still be on Arsenal’s radar, a transfer to the Emirates during the upcoming transfer season doesn’t appear likely. Rice is the midfielder Mikel Arteta seems to be eager to sign, and Brighton will probably demand yet another exorbitant price for Caicedo.
