Liverpool told to sign Chelsea target from Brighton

Former Chelsea star Craig Burley has urged Liverpool to join the race for the Blues target Moises Caicedo from Brighton.

While Chelsea’s new manager Mauricio Pochettino reportedly wants the duo Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez as key players in his midfield, Burley, however, believes Liverpool could massively benefit from signing the Ecuador star instead.

A report via Sky Sports revealed thee Blues are set to make a formal approach to Brighton for the player once they finalise the sales of some of their players.

CBS Sports revealed Caicedo could cost Chelsea up to £80 million in transfer fees and a further £10 million in add-ons.

Burley told ESPN, “Those two (Mac Allister and Caicedo) would be big. Age, 21, and the fact the way Brighton played, especially under De Zerbi, the possession of the ball was similar to Potter, but they got forward a lot quicker.

“That’s what Liverpool did, in their pomp. They moved it from back to front. Quickly and with more quality than anybody in Europe at one point. They would win it back, then bang, they were at the back four.”
