Brighton currently sit in sixth in the Premier League and are chasing European football for the first time in their history. If they are to achieve this incredible feat then Caicedo will be a crucial part of this journey, hence their reluctance to let him depart mid-season. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal and Liverpool have entered the race alongside Chelsea for Brighton &amp; Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo, as per Fabrizio Romano.
