According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo is likely to join Chelsea in the next transfer window. Both parties have already reached an agreement for the transfer to be completed.

The Blues made a £65 million opening bid to Brighton & Hove Albion to sign Moises Caicedo in the summer transfer window but their offer was rejected.

As a result, Chelsea made an improved second offer of reportedly £80 million and the two sides have reached an agreement, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Stamford Bridge outfit are looking to reinforce their midfield as several players such as Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic are expected to leave London in the next transfer window.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to rebuild their midfield around Enzo Fernandez and thinks the Ecuadorian could play a key role in his midfield.
