OFFICIAL: Chelsea announce Caicedo signing with brilliant video

After fighting off a late challenge from Liverpool, Chelsea have finally landed the signing of Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton.

The Blues broke the British transfer record for a second time, to bring Caicedo to Stamford Bridge, eclipsing the £106 million they paid Benfica for the Argentine with a £115 million bid to convince Brighton to sell their Ecuadorian midfielder.

Caicedo joins the Blues on an eight-year contract, with an option for an additional year after rejecting a move to Liverpool this summer despite the Reds having an agreement with Brighton.

The move brings an end to the transfer Saga involving Caicedo, which has seen him as a target for Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal since he made his intention to leave the Seagulls open in January 2023.

Caicedo joined the Seagulls in 2021 from Independiente in Ecuador for €5 million before going on loan to Beerschot V.A. in his first season with Brighton.

He later joined the first team at the start of the 2022/2023 season and his performances in the first half of the season made him a target for many Premier League clubs in the January transfer window when the midfielder dramatically tweeted about wanting to earn more money with a big move.

His dream of moving to a bigger club has finally come to pass after Chelsea beat off competition from Liverpool this summer to land the 21-year-old midfielder.
