Will not ask Brighton’s asking price for Caicedo
Gallagher likely to leave Chelsea
WHAT HAPPENED? The Blues continue to remain interested in signing Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo this summer but are reportedly unwilling to match their asking price of £100m (€115m/$128m). They have now shortlisted three midfield alternatives in case they miss out on signing Caicedo, according to the Evening Standard.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Mauricio Pochettino is willing to sign two midfielders in this transfer window and has his eyes on Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia and Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga.
AND WHAT’S MORE: The Premier League giants are also likely to let Conor Gallagher leave the club with West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing the midfielder.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA? Pochettino’s side will next face Newcastle United in the Premier League Summer Series on July 26 in Atlanta.
