Brighton and Hove Albion’s 21-year-old midfielder, Moises Caicedo, has signed a new long-term contract with the club, which will keep him at the Amex Stadium until 2027, with a club option for a further year.
The Ecuador international had been heavily linked with a move away from the club during the January transfer window, with Arsenal reportedly making bids of up to £70million for him.
However, Brighton rejected the offers and have now secured Caicedo’s future with the club.

Caicedo’s commitment to the club will undoubtedly strengthen their chances of achieving their targets on the pitch as they continue their campaign for a European spot.
