[News] ‘I can’t say no’ – Moises Caicedo admits he’s desprate to leave Brighton and sign for Chelsea in £100million move

Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has admitted that he is desperate to join Chelsea saying that he ‘couldn’t say no’ to the Blues.

 

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are currently negotiating a £100million move for the Brighton midfielder, with the Ecuadorian midfielder holding firm on that price tag.

 

The 21-year-old had previously tried to force through a transfer to the Gunners back in January, and admitted missing out on that move was ‘tough’.

 

But he is now getting set to seal a move to their London rivals Chelsea in a £100million move.

‘It’s a big team, that’s true,’ Caicedo told La Cancha Con Majo.

‘A very historic team and I can’t say no because it is a very big, historic, beautiful team. The city as well is beautiful.’

 

Caicedo also said he is relaxed about the situation, adding: ‘It’s a very great emotion. What guy wouldn’t want them to be talking about him?

‘I know how to handle it. I don’t get carried away by emotions. I’m enjoying time with my family for now. There is pressure, but I am calm.

‘I am waiting for whatever God decides. He will know what is best for me.’

 

Caicedo joined Brighton for £4.5m in January 2021 on a three-year deal from Independiente del Valle. If sold for £100million to Chelsea, Brighton
will make an enormous return of over £95m profit on the promising talent.
