Chelsea and Liverpool are going head-to-head for the signing of Brighton star Moises Caicedo with Reds legend Jamie Carragher giving his view on the battle for the midfielder
Jamie Carragher has weighed in on the “mess” surrounding Liverpool target Moises Caicedo as Chelsea edge towards winning the battle for him.
The Reds are going head-to-head with their Premier League rivals for the right to sign the Ecuadorian midfielder. Chelsea have been chasing him since January and have lodged numerous bids for his services.
Liverpool have attempted to hijack their move over recent days after agreeing a stunning £115m deal with his current employers Brighton. However, Caicedo has thrown a spanner into the works by confirming that he would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge instead of Anfield.
The ball is now firmly in the Blues court to see whether they match Liverpool’s latest offer. Carragher has given his view on the situation and suggested that the Reds’ move for Caicedo goes against their previously swift and efficient work in the transfer market.
