Chelsea is one of the three Premier League clubs chasing Moises Caicedo and has not given up on signing him during this transfer window. Although Brighton does not need to sell and is not under any pressure to, Liverpool is also interested. There are still 2.5 years left on Caicedo’s contract. When he was AMEX’s head of recruitment, Paul Winstanley, the director of global talent and transfers for Chelsea, was instrumental in bringing Moises Caicedo to Brighton. Caicedo, a player from Ecuador, has started 17 of Brighton’s 18 Premier League games so far this year. At the end of the previous year, Caicedo started his nation’s three World Cup games in Qatar, scoring in a 2-1 loss to Senegal as they failed to advance out of Group A. During Graham Potter’s tenure as Brighton’s head coach in February 2021, Brighton paid £5 million to acquire Caicedo from Independiente del Valle.
Tiemoue Bakoyoko’s contract may be mutually terminated, according to Chelsea. There are presently discussions about revoking the midfielder’s loan to AC Milan. In August 2021, Bakoyoko signed a two-year loan agreement with Milan that included a buyout clause based on a predetermined amount of Serie A appearances. That quantity was possibly 15. He played in 14 league games last year but has not played at all this year. Bakayoko is believed to be dissatisfied and seeking a different challenge. The Premier League is being considered by his agents. In 2024, the midfielder’s Chelsea contract expires.
The transfer of Danny Ings from Aston Villa to West Ham is now in advanced negotiations. The 30-year-old, who has six goals in 18 Premier League outings this season, is in talks over a permanent contract. Ings transferred from Southampton to Villa in the summer of 2021, and he has since played 52 times for the West Midlands team. During the January transfer window, West Ham was looking to add a striker. Last week, their £25 million bid for Lorient forward Terem Moffi was turned down.
