Chelsea continue to explore the market for a midfielder and are expected to formalise their interest in Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo soon.
It is thought Chelsea are getting encouragement the player would join if a deal can be agreed between the clubs, with personal terms not expected to be a problem.
Chelsea were interested in signing Caicedo in January but the 21-year-old Ecuador international remained at Brighton where he helped delivered a sixth-place finish in the Premier League and European qualification for the first time in the club’s history.
One source has told Sky Sports News that Chelsea are also looking at Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, who has been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal this summer.
