Hide AdCaicedo has been at the heart of Brighton’s push for European football this season. In total, he’s made 25 appearances and scored two goals for the sixth-placed Seagulls. But the Ecuador international has revealed on social media he wants to leave the Amex Stadium after Arsenal had a £60 million bid rejected.
Caicedo did not training with the rest of his Brighton team-mates yesterday, acccording to The Athletic. And Roberto De Zerbi has told the 21-year-old to stay away until 1 February, with the Seagulls wanting to keep him for the second half of the season.
That means that he’ll not play against Liverpool, which gives the Reds a big boost.
