Moises Caicedo: The Latest Premier League Transfer Rumours
Key Highlights :
The summer transfer window is well and truly open and some of the biggest names in the Premier League are being linked with moves. Moises Caicedo is the latest star who could be on the move, with Manchester United reportedly interested in the Brighton midfielder. Here, the PA news agency rounds up some of the latest transfer stories and business.
Arsenal are still chasing West Ham captain Declan Rice and have had their third offer of £100million plus £5m in add-ons reportedly accepted on Wednesday. Manchester City had been interested but decided not to match Arsenal’s proposition.
Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of James Maddison from Leicester for an initial £40m on Wednesday. The 26-year-old England international has signed a five-year deal and becomes new manager Ange Postecoglou’s third new recruit.
Kai Havertz has crossed London to join Arsenal from Chelsea in a £65m deal and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has also left Stamford Bridge to sign for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli. Arsenal are also closing on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
Chelsea are reportedly in “advanced talks” over Santos winger Angelo Gabriel and their interest in Brighton’s Moises Caicedo has now apparently been matched by Manchester United. This adds a layer of intrigue to United’s pursuit of Chelsea’s Mason Mount.
Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga, who has a £34m buyout clause, is being looked at by Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Fulham and Nottingham Forest are potential destinations for another Chelsea player, Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Liverpool are also being linked with RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and the German side’s centre-back Josko Gvardiol is another potential target for champions City.
The future of Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane remains the subject of considerable speculation as Bayern Munich apparently prepare a second bid, but the prospect of this move happening still seems remote. Bayern’s first offer of £60m was rejected out of hand and the feeling is the Germans would have to up it considerably just to get Spurs to the table. Even then, there has been no indication that Kane would be interested in such a switch.
It was inevitable there would be some interest in Jamie Vardy following Leicester’s relegation but the 36-year-old apparently has no interest in joining Saudi Arabian side Khaleej FC.
With the transfer window now in full swing, there are sure to be plenty of twists and turns in the coming weeks. Moises Caicedo is just one of the Premier League stars who could be on the move this summer and it will be interesting to see where the Ecuadorian ends up.
