Arsenal has reportedly come to an agreement on personal terms with highly sought-after midfielder Moises Caicedo for a potential transfer this summer. Despite his failed move to Arsenal last year, the Ecuadorian international has continued to impress while playing for Brighton.
Recent reports suggest that Caicedo has already agreed to personal terms with Arsenal. Indicating a possible transfer to the Emirates.
However, a new report from Birmingham World highlights Caicedo’s disciplinary record. Ranking him as the second dirtiest player in the Premier League. In the previous season, he received ten yellow cards for committing 65 fouls, placing him in the same category as Joelinton from Newcastle United.
If Caicedo joins Arsenal, his presence in the midfield would bring significant physicality and toughness to the team’s playing style.
Caicedo has established himself as one of the standout players in the Premier League since joining Brighton. And it is crucial for Arsenal to act swiftly if they want to secure his services. Other clubs are also in interest in signing him, making the competition for his signature intense.
If Arsenal maintains their pursuit of Caicedo, there is a strong likelihood that he will choose them as his next club.
Arsenal and their reason for targeting Caicedo
On the Just Arsenal Show, hosts Alfie and Rob return for the summer edition. Where they discuss and make predictions about every incoming and outgoing transfer for Arsenal. They delve into potential fees involved and speculate about the possible destinations for outgoing players.
Moreover, Arteta’s primary objective for the summer transfer window is to bring in players who possess quality in various positions across the pitch. He sees the versatility of Caicedo as a valuable asset. As the midfielder could be deployed in multiple roles. Such as in the defensive midfield position or further forward as one of two number eights. It is worth noting that Caicedo also played as a right-back for Brighton in the latter stages of the previous season.
While Caicedo remains a target, the Arsenal hierarchy is currently focusing on Declan Rice. However, this doesn’t necessarily rule out the possibility of signing Caicedo. It is speculated that acquiring both players could require a significant financial investment of nearly £200 million.
