Liverpool join race for 21-year-old South American midfielder

 Liverpool submitted an initial offer to sign Moises Caicedo. But Brighton have turned it down as they want €70m to part ways with the 21-year-old midfielder. The Merseyside giants are now preparing an improved offer if they want to sign Caicedo, a target for Arsenal.

Moises has established himself as one of the best youngsters in the PL, and it is no surprise that big teams like the Reds are looking to sign him. Liverpool are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements, especially with the likes of Milner, Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain expected to leave the club as free agents at the end of the campaign.

Ecuador international would be a fantastic, long-term investment for the Reds, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to break the bank for his services. Apparently, the Seagulls value the Ecuadorian midfielder at €70m, and he is a target for clubs like Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Chelsea as well.

Arsenal have only enquired about the price. But the other two are more seriously interested. The Merseyside giants have already signed Cody Gakpo from PSV to improve their attacking options.

And bringing in a footballer like the Ecuadorian in January could help them finish the campaign strongly and secure Champions League qualification. A move to Anfield could be an attractive option for the South American midfielder, and the chance to work with the German manager could prove to be tempting.
