Roberto De Zerbi offers fresh Moises Caicedo updates after the training decision.
Following the club’s decision to give Moises Caicedo time to think about his future, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged the team must find “the best solution” for the player.
Caicedo went public with his desire to leave Brighton this month following a £60m bid from Arsenal, which the Seagulls wasted little time in rejecting – as they also did with Chelsea’s enquiry about the Ecuador international earlier in the month.
Consequently, Brighton encouraged Caicedo to stay away from the club until the end of the transfer window, insisting the 21-year-old would not be sold to either London club.
As a result, Caicedo was left out of the squad that faced Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday, before which De Zerbi admitted he still hopes to keep the midfielder around.

“Moises is a good guy,” he told ITV. “We will see tomorrow, and in the next days, what happens. We hope he stays with us until the end of the season, but after this, it’s a question for the club and for Moises.”
He added: “Moises is a good guy. In life, you can make mistakes. For everyone, there are many solutions and we will see the best solution for the club, for him and for us.”
According to reports, Brighton expects further bids from both Arsenal and Chelsea for Caicedo, who would be open to joining either club before the end of the transfer window.
Caicedo has pleaded with Brighton to let him become their record sale, adamantly stating that he wants to assist the Seagulls in raising funds necessary to strengthen even more.
