      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.

      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

      Haidara, 24, who signed for Leipzig from RB Salzburg in 2019, has contributed 12 goals and eight assists in 133 appearances for the German side.
      According to The Independent, Brighton have seen an offer for the midfielder rejected by the Bundesliga outfit.
      It is understood that Leipzig do not want to sell in January as they believe it would be a struggle to find a replacement.
      Leipzig are currently just four points off Bayern Munich at the top of the table.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      But Haidara’s failure to secure a move in January may only postpone his exit as he has a clause in his contract which will allow him to leave in the summer.
      Man Utd and Newcastle have previously been interested in him.
      But if Brighton can secure his services, that may free up Seagulls man Caicedo to depart the club.
      The Ecuadorian, 21, has been linked with a move to both Arsenal and Chelsea.

      He could yet join former team-mate Leandro Trossard at the Emirates, or Marc Cucurella at Stamford Bridge.
      But Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is determined to keep his midfield maestro.
      Speaking earlier this month, he said: “He is very important for us, it would be difficult to change with another player now.
      “I hope he finishes the season with us, but you know in the transfer market it is always difficult to give you one answer.
      “When there are some bigger teams and they want one of our players, it is good news for us.
      “The best solution for us is he can finish the season with us. Next summer, for him, is better to change team.” More

      Despite his lack of minutes, the former Arsenal star’s talents remain desired around the Premier League provided he can stay fit.
      His contract runs outat the end of the season, and clubs are queueing up to try and coax him into a deal to join them.
      High-flying Brighton are among them – following the sale of Leandro Trossard to Arsenal – and are so keen they are even willing to strike a deal this month.
      However, any deal will rest on whether Liverpool will allow “Ox” to leave for free.

      According to the Daily Mail, the interested clubs are optimistic that Liverpool will let him leave this month without demanding a fee.
      With him on £120,000 per week, Liverpool would be keen to allow him to leave considering his playing time is set to be drastically reduced.
      The Reds have signed Cody Gakpo in the window, and will soon have the likes of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz returning from injury.
      Oxlade-Chamberlain signed for Liverpool from Arsenal in 2017 for £35million.

      Dortmund have a sit down planned with Bellingham over the next couple of days and want a swift answer on his plans.
      It is understood the Bundesliga outfit are prepared to make him the highest-paid player at the club, on around £180,000 a week, for a further five years.
      Yet Dortmund are equally aware Bellingham wants to test himself at a higher level, following his eye-catching performances at the World Cup.
      SunSport revealed this month that would-be buyers have been told they must pay 75 per cent of any total fee up front — with his former club Birmingham also due a cut.

      They are happy not to stand in Bellingham’s way if he does insist he wants to go, as long as he gives them an answer which gives them time to line up a replacement.
      Bellingham can expect to receive offers of around £300,000-a-week wages but the grounded teenager has always insisted will put his football progression before finances.
      That has raised hopes at Anfield that he will join them, with reports his father Mark has been talking to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
      The Merseysiders know they will be blown out of the water if it does come down to a bidding war.

      Dortmund sports director Sebastian Kehl said: “Youssoufa is an exceptional player we have trained and in who we still see great development potential.”
