and

in recent weeks and reports suggest that Brighton has rejected a £55 million offer from Chelsea, but the Blues are ready to increase their offer. Liverpool also is expected to make a move for him in the summer.

In an interview with Brighton’s official website, Caicedo talked about his future and insisted that he is fully focused on his team.

He said:

“I am focused on Brighton. I am here, I’m playing every day. Things from outside don’t trouble me, nor does it take that focus away because I’m focused only on here. I handle [the speculation] well. You hear rumours here and there, but I only try to be focused on the club where I am now, the club which opened the doors for me to be playing every week.”

The Ecuador international joined Brighton from Independiente del Valle in 2021, where he has scored two goals in 32 matches.

Brighton is in sixth place in the Premier League table and Caicedo has praised Roberto De Zerbi’s influence who replaced Graham Potter in September.

“We are getting better all the time. There’s an evolution with every match – we all understand each other better. The coach is giving us that confidence to always do things well on the pitch,"

Caicedo continued.

“Roberto [De Zerbi] has really helped me in bringing the ball out from the back and I think I have learned it well, I enjoy playing the ball out from the back. We do it well, coming out from deep positions. It is his preferred system and I’m enjoying it.”
