Chelsea are poised to make a new bid for Moisés Caicedo after the midfielder missed Brighton’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino is determined to strengthen his midfield before the start of the new season and Chelsea, who are also giving serious consideration to making a move for Leeds’s Tyler Adams, remain optimistic about their chances of agreeing a deal to sign Caicedo.
