Chelsea set to sign Brighton’s pair, Caicedo and Trossard.
Chelsea are interested in signing Moises Caicedo and Leandro Trossard from Brighton.
On Sunday the Blues unveiled their fourth signing of the January transfer window with the £88million capture of Ukrainian forward Mykhailo Mudryk.
Mudryk joins Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, and Joao Felix on loan, all of whom joined the London club this month.
The Blues may return to Brighton for their next targets, Ecuadorian midfielder Caicedo and Trossard, who has been in the spotlight this week following a spat with Seagulls manager Roberto De Zerbi.
De Zerbi has subsequently stated that Trossard can return to the club, but his future remains uncertain, as he has been linked with a move away from the South Coast during this transfer window.

As well as Chelsea, Trossard remains of interest to Tottenham, who are also speaking to Sporting Lisbon about Pedro Porro this week.
The Seagulls reportedly have the option to extend Trossard’s contract by another year once the current one expires at the end of the current campaign.
The Blues are also interested in Trossard’s team-mate Caicedo, however, he is expected not to come cheaply.
The midfielder’s current contract has three years remaining, but Chelsea have identified him as a potential replacement for N’Golo Kante, who has been out with a serious injury.
After signing Marc Cucurella in the summer and stealing Graham Potter and his staff from The Amex in September to replace Thomas Tuchel, any approach from Chelsea would represent another raid on Brighton.
