Moises Caicedo Completes Medical, Nears £115M Chelsea Move

Brighton's Moises Caicedo has finished his medical exam as the 21-year-old edges closer to a £115 million transfer move to Chelsea.

According to Sky Sports, the Ecuadorian midfielder is on the verge of becoming a Chelsea player for a British record fee, plus potential add-ons.

• Chelsea triumph over Liverpool in sealing a British record deal for Caicedo.

Despite Liverpool's £111 million bid being accepted by the Seagulls, Caicedo opted for Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues. This follows multiple offers from Chelsea, gradually increasing from £80 million.

Chelsea's previous British record transfer was £106 million which was paid for Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in January.

• Chelsea's goalkeeper, Sanchez, expresses his excitement.

It is believed that Caicedo, who was signed by Brighton for £4.5 million from Independiente del Valle in 2021, is poised to ink an eight-year deal with the West London side.

During his time at Brighton, Caicedo showcased his talent in 53 appearances, with 45 of those in the Premier League.
