‘Arsenal is a great team’ – Agent of Brighton star Moises Caicedo drops cryptic transfer hint ahead of summer window

WHAT THEY SAID: Manuel Sierra has told Arsenalinformer: “Arsenal is a great team for everyone; let’s see what happens in the summer, there are many clubs keen on Moises. Moises has four years left on his contract. He’s having an incredible season, so it’s normal that there are many clubs interested in him. Now he’s completely focused on the last part of the season; all evaluations will be postponed until the summer. This is not a surprise because there aren’t many other midfielders so young and talented around Europe. I believe he can really improve in every aspect of the game. He can slot into any [team] as he is ready for it all. His dream is to play in the Champions League and to reach as far as he can in football.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Sierra also revealed that Caicedo’s idol is Chelsea star N’Golo Kante, with the World Cup-winning Frenchman becoming the standout holding midfielder of his generation.
