  • Premier League giants keen

WHAT HAPPENED? Caicedo has also been heavily linked with Liverpool in the recent past, with the talented 21-year-old seeing his stock soar on the back of a February 2021 transfer to the Amex Stadium.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The highly-rated South American only has 25 Premier League appearances to his name, but CBS Sports reports that his price tag now stands at £75 million-plus ($92m).

AND WHAT'S MORE: Brighton have already made it clear that a figure of around £40m ($49m) would only be enough for Caicedo’s “laces”, with any suitors needing to deep considerably deeper than that in order to get a deal done, but “understand” that a sale may have to be sanctioned if the youngster expresses a desire to move on.
