Amid this, De Zerbi hinted that he envisions starting the Premier League season with Caicedo in his team,\u00a0<\/span>saying<\/span><\/a>: “We didn\u2019t speak about the next transfer market window and for me, he is a player like the others. OK, we are Brighton and I can understand we have to sell any player at the end of the season like Mac Allister. But at the moment, I have not received news that Caicedo can leave tomorrow or in the next week. I start the next season with Caicedo in my head in the first 11, for sure.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After this, he also took a bit of a dig at Chelsea for not being able to offer European football next season, adding: “We have to substitute him with a great player because this year we play in the Europa League, unlike Chelsea.”<\/span><\/p>\n
