ARSENAL have renewed their interest in signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton, according to reports.
Mikel Arteta attempted to sign the midfielder in January, but the Seagulls refused to let him leave mid-season.
Roberto De Zerbi has since revealed that he will be allowed to move on this summer if the price is right.
And according to The Times, Arsenal are preparing another bid.
The Gunners are reportedly willing to match Brighton’s £80million asking price, but they are yet to launch a formal offer.
Caicedo is understood to be eager to join Arsenal as he wants to play Champions League football.

But for now, Arteta is focused on bringing Declan Rice to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are close to reaching an agreement with West Ham for the defensive midfielder.
The proposed offer would see Rice become one of the most expensive English players of all time.
Should both midfielders join the club, Thomas Partey could be allowed to leave.
