      Chelsea fans joke Brighton are ‘splashing Caicedo transfer money’ on Player of the Month award… but there’s huge catch

      by

      CHELSEA fans have joked that Brighton are “splashing their Moises Caicedo money” on their Player of the Month award.That’s after Kaoru Mitoma was gifted a PORSCHE for winning August’s prize – albeit with a huge twist.

      Chelsea handed a British record £115million to Brighton for Caicedo last month.
      The Ecuadorian midfielder isn’t the first to swap the Amex for Stamford Bridge either.
      Chelsea also paid £25m for Brighton’s third-choice goalie Robert Sanchez this summer.
      And last year they forked over £80m for player Marc Cucurella and manager Graham Potter – with the latter sacked just seven months later.

      Chelsea fans now fear they have been funding Brighton’s prize for Player of the Month all along.
      The Seagulls declared that Mitoma was the latest recipient of the award after helping himself to a goal and three assists.
      The Japan international looked as cool as a cucumber as he posed with his Porsche supercar.
      One Chelsea fan joked: “They’re using the Caicedo money to fund POTM Porsche’s. What have we done?”

      Another declared: “Using that Caicedo bag to get Mitoma this Porsche! Incredible business.”
      One noted: “Bro this is such a big flex.”
      Another added: “Porsche costs £1m, Caicedo £115m, still some money left…”
      However, there was a huge twist regarding Brighton’s Porsche prize.
      That’s because the Player of the Month winner only gets to drive it for 48 hours.
      Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex, who were behind Mitoma’s gift, lifted the lid on the time limit back in the 2015/16 after being named Brighton’s Performance Car Partner.
      It means Mitoma will have to get behind the wheel quickly or else see his temporary Porsche return to the lot before he knows it. More

      Broja, 22, won the treble of the U18 Premier League, Premier League Cup and FA Youth Cup.
      The academy graduate has had two loan spells while at Chelsea one in 2020-21 at Vitesse and then 2021-22 at Southampton.
      But he was ruled out for a large part of last season after suffering a knee injury in a friendly against Aston Villa in December.

      He said on the London is Blue podcast: “Armando Broja is extremely close to being back.
      “Chelsea have been very cautious with him because it was an ACL injury.
      “But he looks in great shape and people consider him to be back stronger than before.”

      French international Badiashile joined as a big-money move from Monaco in January but has been out since pre-season with a hamstring injury.
      With the arrival of Axel Disasi and the return of academy graduate Levi Colwill from his loan at Brighton, the 22-year-old has a lot of competition for a place.
      Kinsella spoke about Badiashile’s return to Pochettino’s squad.
      He continued: “He has been out for quite a while so I expect to see him in the U21 with Broja.
      “Chelsea really wanted to keep Colwill and they are going to find a way to play him and Badiashile together.
      “We should see him back soon hopefully in the next run of games.”
      Both forgotten stars may make a return to Chelsea’s U21 squad before hitting the main stage of Poch’s starting XI, according to Kinsella. More

      McTominay, who usually operates more as a defensive midfielder for Manchester United, is the top scorer in European qualifiers with six goals and one assist in his five games for the Scots.
      Scotland currently sit top of Group A, ahead of Spain in second.
      The midfielder has found game time hard to come by this season at club level though.
      Erik Ten Hag favours Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen over the Scotland number four and he has only seen just seven minutes of Premier League football this season as a result.
      But his scoring record for Scotland is impressive, and could see McTominay remodelled into a more attacking player under Ten Hag.

      It meant that he wasn’t initially paid by the club, so he had to find an alternative way to make ends meet.
      And according to his former team-mate Lee Sharpe, Bosnich earned an income by selling devices after getting involved with a group of “gangsters” in Salford.
      Speaking on the Under The Cosh podcast, Sharpe said: “Mark Bosnich was in our digs [temporary accommodation] because he came from Australia. He couldn’t get a work permit so he was on expenses as like a trialist.
      “What a character Bozzy was. [He] got in with all the gangsters in Salford, and I went in his room one night and he just had boxes of camcorders and tellies and I’m like, ‘What are you doing?’.

      “He’s like, ‘I’m on expenses I’ve got to earn some money somehow so I’m going to knock these out to the lads.'”
      Bosnich made just three appearances for the Red Devils before his registration was cancelled in 1991.
      He then joined Sydney United and spent a season back in Australia before returning to England to pen a one-year deal with Aston Villa.
      Following the expiration of his contract at Villa Park, Man Utd re-signed the goalkeeper.
