Chelsea will improve their bid for Moisés Caicedo this week, as revealed yesterday. The Blues will submit an improved £70m bid for the Ecuadorian. Further, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that communications are happening directly between the two clubs, so the Blues hope to get another proposal together by this week.

With Arsenal announcing the signing of Declan Rice, it is clear that they are out of the race now. Therefore, there will be little to no competition for Caicedo this summer. The only hindrance to Poch is that De Zerbi’s board of directors are incredibly difficult to negotiate with – hence why Caicedo has been chased since the start of this year.
