Arsenal, Manchester United 'in battle to sign Brighton's Moises Caicedo'

Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.

The Seagulls signed the 20-year-old from Independiente del Valle in February 2021, and although he has only made 12 appearances for the South coast side, Caicedo has caught the eye of a number of clubs across Europe.

According to The Express, Arsenal and Man United are considering a move for the Ecuador international before the transfer window closes.

West Ham United, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen are also credited with showing an interest, although they may find it difficult to prise Caicedo away from Brighton.

He impressed in his club's 2-1 win over Manchester United on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, and also featured in Brighton's goalless draw against Newcastle United on Saturday.

After selling Marc Cucurella to Chelsea for £63m and raising £25m through the sale of Yves Bissouma to Tottenham Hotspur, the Seagulls are under no pressure to let Caicedo leave this summer.
