Brighton have rejected Arsenal’s bid for Moises Caicedo.
Britain’s ‘Mirror’ reported on the 28th (Korean time), “Brighton said it was not for sale after rejecting Arsenal’s £60 million (about 92 billion won) offer for Caicedo.”
Caicedo is one of the midfielders whose future is more promising than the present. He was born in 2001, so despite his young age, he showed enough potential. Caicedo wore Brighton’s uniform from last season and left on loan in the first half, returning to the team in January. As the second half progressed, he became the starting pitcher and took charge of Brighton’s midfield alongside Eve Bisuma.
He is a midfielder who is active in both offense and defense. Caicedo mainly plays as a central midfielder or defensive midfielder and shows a lot of activity as a box to box type player. His connection, as well as penetration, shooting, and positioning are cited as strengths. 메이저놀이터
He plays a pivotal role for the team this season as well. Caicedo started in all 18 English Premier League (EPL) games and is contributing greatly to Brighton’s rise along with Alexis McAllister. He also excelled at the World Cup. Caicedo represented Ecuador at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Ecuador was eliminated in the group stage, but Caicedo showed a clear presence in the midfield.
Arsenal became a target for this performance. Arsenal will challenge the top of the league for the first time in 19 years this season. But there is one problem. Except for the three key players (Martin Odegard, Granit Xaka, and Thomas Partey) in the midfield, there are no resources to trust. Fabiu Vieira has yet to integrate into the team, and Mohamed Elneni has suffered a long-term injury. In the end, coach Mikel Arteta plans to increase his depth by recruiting Caicedo.
However, Brighton rejected Arsenal’s offer. Director Roberto De Zerbi also clearly drew a line. “I talked to Caicedo like a father, not a coach. I hope he can stay with us until the end of the season. I think that’s the best solution for him and for us,” he said.
