Arsenal have submitted a second bid to Brighton for their midfield star Moises Caicedo as Mikel Arteta pushes to sign the 21-year-old ahead of Chelsea.
The new bid is reportedly a £60m fee plus £10m in add-ons, and according to the Daily Mail, Brighton are set to reject the offer as they hold tight for £80m.
This is the Gunners’ second bid for the 21-year-old star this week after their opening £60m offer was also rejected by the Seagulls.
Caicedo stayed away from Brighton training on Saturday as he tries to force through a move and will not feature in their FA Cup clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
Chelsea are also interested in the midfielder and previously saw a £55m bid rejected by Brighton for the 21-year-old, reported the Daily Mail, and are said to be weighing up another offer for the Seagulls star.
Brighton stated throughout this window that they would not be selling Caicedo, but it seems now that an £80m offer could tempt the Premier League club into doing so, with both Arsenal and Chelsea in the hunt.
