      by

      And the Telegraph claimed that Chelsea, who were desperate to sign a midfielder this month, have shown an interest.
      This comes despite Everton wanting to keep Onana, although they do have financial problems due to FFP.
      But French outlet L’Equipe now believe the 21-year-old has decided against a Stamford Bridge switch.
      That could open the door for Arsenal, who are reportedly interested in the midfielder following an injury to Mohamed Elneny.

      The report claims the Gunners have contacted Everton over his services.
      But Onana only joined in the summer window and the Toffees have therefore set an asking price of £50m.
      Mikel Arteta has already added to his squad with the signings of Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior, but he still wants to bolster his midfield.
      Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey have been the Spaniard’s starting pair this season, but Arteta only has Albert Sambi Lokonga as backup.

      And while the Premier League tops Arsenal’s priority list, they’re still in two other competitions.
      They travel to Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday and are waiting to discover their last 16 opponents in the Europa League.
      The trip to the Etihad could see Trossard make his full Gunners debut after he was a late substitute in Sunday’s win over Manchester United.
      He missed Brighton’s third round victory at Middlesbrough earlier this month, which means he is NOT cup tied and therefore eligible to play. More

      And Todd Boehly is hopeful of finally securing a deal for the right-back after having an initial bid rejected.
      A move is starting to look inevitable after Gusto agreed personal terms on a six-and-a-half year contract.
      Yet Lyon continue to resist as they hold out for around £30million.
      Even so, Fabrizio Romano claims the French side are already scouring the market for a replacement.

      And their top target to replace Gusto is Lamptey.
      The 22-year-old joined Brighton from Chelsea three years ago, having been rated as one of England’s top young defenders.
      However, a series of unfortunate injuries have limited him to 35 league starts in that time.
      And Roberto de Zerbi is open to selling Lamptey this month as he targets a deal for Mykola Matviyenko.

      Lamptey isn’t the only player who could depart Brighton before deadline day, with Chelsea also keen on midfielder Moises Caicedo.
      Should he depart, Brighton could make a stunning move for Liverpool’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. More

      by

      Under current manager Roberto De Zerbi – who is desperate to keep the ace – Caicedo’s development has continued at a rapid pace, with Brighton continuing to march up the table.
      We reported this week how Arsenal, who have already snatched one player from the Seagulls this month, had joined the scramble for his signature.
      Chelsea were reported to have had a £55million offer rejected last week as Brighton hold out for as much at £100m.
      And the midfielder has also hired a new agent as speculation mounts over his future.
      READ MORE TRANSFER NEWS
      Now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has offered a fresh update on the situation. 
      He tweeted: “Three clubs are exploring Caicedo deal after new agents’ statement: Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are informed on the situation, as revealed on Monday.
      “Brighton, not intentioned to sell unless they receive really huge proposal.”
      Winger Leandro Trossard joined Arsenal in a £27million deal from Brighton and made his debut during the 3-2 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

      The Seagulls have become serial recruiters of top talent which is then flipped for a huge profit margin, as evidenced by sales such as Marc Cucurella, Ben White and most recently Trossard.
      Trossard arrived at the Amex Stadium in 2019 for just £18m, while the respective fees they got for Cucurella and White saw Brighton receive more money than what it cost them to build their stadium.
      Caicedo is set to be the next name on that list of profitable acquisitions by the club after he cost them just £5m Independiente del Valle two years ago.
      And his price tag may swell amid Liverpool’s interest. 
      The Reds have endured a miserable campaign so far and Jurgen Klopp is believed to be looking to bolster his ageing midfield ahead of the next campaign. More
