Arsenal will ‘rekindle’ their interest in Moises Caicedo as the Brighton & Hove Albion star made it clear he ‘would be keen to move’ to the Emirates Stadium, journalist Pete O’Rourke has told GiveMeSport.
Jorginho proved to be the only addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad on deadline day as he joined the Gunners in a £12million switch from London rivals Chelsea.

Arsenal transfer news – Moises Caicedo
According to The Athletic, Arsenal may find it difficult to sign Caicedo in the summer because their public pursuit has not gone down well at Brighton.
The report suggests the south coast club’s respect for the Gunners has soured after they persisted in their bid to lure the central midfielder to the Emirates Stadium last month, weakening their position when it comes to striking a deal further down the line
Having already seen Chelsea fail to land Caicedo after lodging a £55million proposal, Arsenal were left frustrated when a £60million offer was snubbed.
The Ecuador international took to social media to confirm he wanted to seal his Brighton exit, but his current employers held firm and rejected an improved £70million bid from the Gunners.
Respected journalist Jacque Talbot previously told GiveMeSport that Caicedo travelled to London as he looked to force through a move on deadline day, but his current employers’ stance remained unchanged and they set an £80million price tag.
