Brighton are “confident” ARSENAL will cough up the full £75million asking price for Moises Caicedo, who wants a move to the Emirates

The Gunners are now making moves early to try and get their summer business done – as Mikel Arteta knows that there will be more challengers for that Premier League title next season.

Caicedo is a player that the Gunners have been linked with for the past six months – and almost got him all signed up in the January window before he opted to stay put and help Brighton get into Europe.

Now – reports on the Daily express website has claimed that Caicedo is keen to complete a move to Arsenal – and would prefer a move to the Emirates over a switch to Chelsea or Liverpool

Caicedo’s potential arrival – on top of Arsenal’s interest in Declan Rice – makes a summer exit for Granit Xhaka more likely.

But Emirates chief Mikel Arteta wants not just better players, but strength in depth.

He’s demanding a better squad after Manchester City overhauled the Gunners to retain their Premier League crown.

Arteta is planning to sign two midfielders, a full-back and a centre-back – Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said on his Here We Go podcast: “From what I understand, they will sign two midfielders this summer.

“They dream of Declan Rice plus one more. And also, new full-back, new centre back.

“So Arsenal want to sign important players for next season.”
