Brighton have rejected a £70m offer for Moisés Caicedo from Chelsea, whose midfielder Conor Gallagher is being pursued by West Ham and Tottenham.

Caicedo is Chelsea’s main target as they hunt for midfield reinforcements and they remain focused on finding a compromise with Brighton, who are holding out for £100m for the Ecuador international. The clubs remain in talks and the expectation is that the transfer will go through.
