Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Moises Caicedo, but face competition from Chelsea for the Brighton midfielder, reports in Ecuador show.
According to TeradeportesCaicedo is eager to play in the Champions League and Arsenal is his priority right now.
However, the report says that Chelsea would like to pay a higher fee for Caicedo, although they will not be involved in Europe next season.
Liverpool are also interested in the 21-year-old, although he is not considered a priority for Jürgen Klopp’s side at the moment.

Mikel Arteta eager to add to Arsenal’s midfield options, with Caicedo a key target
Arsenal are determined to expand their midfield options, especially with Granit Xhaka set to move to Bayer Leverkusen.
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has been a key target for the Gunners and they have also been heavily linked with Caicedo, who has produced outstanding performances for Brighton.
Chelsea, meanwhile, is planning a major rebuild under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
With The Blues having an extremely large squad it is likely there will be some high profile departures from Stamford Bridge as well as some key new arrivals.
Caicedo has made 51 appearances for Brighton since joining the club in February 2021.
