    Both clubs have seen bids rejected and are trying to sign him before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
    And Caicedo took to social media to express his feelings.
    The 21-year-old said: “I am grateful to Mr. Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League and I feel I have always done my best for them. I always play football with a smile and with heart.
    “I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador. My dream always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador.

    “I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful.
    “The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity.”
    But Caicedo’s message on Instagram contained some errors.
    Remarkably, he spelt the name of his home town Santo Domingo wrong.

    Instead of spelling it with an “O” at the end of Santo, he put an “A”, which appears to suggest that his message could have been written by a representative.
    Furthermore, quote marks were also included on the message, which hints that it might have been drafted by someone else.
    Caicedo spent time in Santo Domingo last month following Ecuador’s exit from the World Cup and was given a hero’s welcome upon his return.
    La Hora, the paper in the city, said at the time: “He indicated he has not thought about going anywhere else.”
    But Caicedo’s stance has changed following interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
    Brighton, who have still said he’s not for sale, have responded to the situation by telling the midfielder to stay away from the club until the window closes.
    And he won’t feature against Liverpool in the FA Cup tomorrow. More

    Shakira responded with a carefree dance video to her diss track at GerardCredit: Instagram
    Shakira responded with an Instagram post only a few hours after Gerard’s photo with new girlfriend, 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
    In the video, she can be seen dancing a version of merengue alongside a video of her music video for diss track “BZRP”.
    She captioned the Instagram post: “Women don’t cry anymore, women dance merengue!”
    One lyric from the smash hit and diss track to her cheating ex reads: “It’s clear that it’s not my fault if they criticize you.”

    Gerard’s Instagram post racked up almost 4million likes, but was flooded with criticisms from both fans of Shakira and the former FC Barcelona footballer.
    One commented: “I bet her [Clara’s] hips lie.”
    Another chimed in: “Enjoy it while it lasts, your kids also see Instagram.”
    A passionate fan made her feelings clear: “You could have waited a while couldn’t you? Out of respect for your ex partner?

    “Falling in love with another is ok, feelings are not controlled, but you do not know how to act.”
    One simply said: “How much of a d*** do you have to be to leave Shakira?”
    The estranged couple’s latest row comes only days after Shakira refused to take down the witch doll which is overlooking her former mother-in-law’s home.
    The Colombian singer put the creepy life-size figure on her balcony in Barcelona earlier this month following her split from Gerard last year.
    Gerard’s mum Montserrat Bernabéu is said to have stormed over to the Columbian superstar’s home and asked Shakira’s employees to turn it around.
    It appears her request fell on deaf ears, however, as Gerard came face to face with the terrifying doll just days ago while arriving to the property for his son Milan’s tenth birthday celebration.
    After the celebrity couple split last year, Shakira released the song BZRP as a dig at cheating ex Gerard and his new young girlfriend.
    The lyrics have gone viral online: “You’re acting so weird, I don’t even recognize you.
    “I’m worth two 22-year-olds. You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded in a Rolex for a Casio.”
    Last summer, Shakira raised suspicions of Gerard’s infidelity over a jar of strawberry jam.
    Rumour has it that she knew something was afoot after taking a look in their fridge at their their five-storey mansion.
    After returning home from travelling, the superstar noticed a jar of her strawberry jam had been eaten.
    Apparently both Gerard and their children, Sasha, 7, and Milan, 10, refuse to eat the strawberry jam.

    She believed another woman had been in her home and eaten the jam, so she hired a private investigator to spy on Gerard.
    The detective is said to have spotted the Spaniard at a nightclub where his now girlfriend Clara worked. More
