This week, a rumour that Mikel Arteta had a six-man summer transfer wishlist surfaced. One of these six named elite targets is Moises Caicedo, Brighton’s midfield prodigy. Declan Rice, Mousa Diaby, Wilfred Zaha, Marc Guehi, and Romeo Lavia are the other names on the wish list.
In Arteta’s mind, he might think of Caicedo coming to his midfield and being the perfect alternative to Thomas Partey. However, after watching the Ecuadorian impress not at midfield but at right back, against Man United, would it be wrong to imagine that in Caicedo, Arsenal could be getting a right-back as well as a brilliant midfielder?
Arsenal’s right back is one position many have identified as needing reinforcement. Ben White has impressed, but there may be a need to add another option there. Tomiyasu’s unpredictability this season has shown he is unreliable.

Adam Lallana said about Caicedo: “He is incredible. His physical attributes are incredible.
“I think as a person as well, he is humble and down to earth. He is the full package.”

Against Manchester United, Caicedo gave Marcus Rashford a run for his money. He was a nuisance to the Manchester United No. 10 for the better part of that game. Someone who didn’t know he was a midfielder would have thought he was a natural right-back.
When Brighton refused to sell him to Arsenal, we now know why: How could they lose a versatile player who could guide them to Europe? Anyway, Arsenal will be back for him in the summer, and this time around, there’s a bright chance they’ll close the deal.
Caicedo could be one of the summer deals that could see Arsenal close the quality gap between them and Manchester City, and we all know that Arteta loves players that can switch positions easily.

Arsenal should buy both Caicero and Rice. together they can nullify the top teams best players by man marking them. Plus ensure tossard starts as a false number 9, because he gels the attack together and is the best player against the low blocking teams, which is over 80% of teams we play against. That’s why we score more goals when he starts as a number 9.
If Brighton ask for over a £100 ,mill for this lad they will get it they are that good in the market.
I must admit this lad has a terrible high ceiling, but Arsenal should just close eyes and buy this lad at all cost
As I said in an article yesterday, Caicedo would walk into our first team.He is the most impressive central midfielder I have seen in the Premier League this season, and should be our first priority signing.
Caicedo 👍
Rice 👎
In the transfer market, Arsenal need a midfield power house in the mould of yaya toure. Rodri of Mancity, Fabinho. In that caliber to sustain a league fight. I am in full support with the Caicedo chase if we can offset the tag on him is the question?
There is a tall black player who plays in the Italian league with Selaertina, can’t remember his name. We don’t need fancy players, we need diligent hard workers with pace in midfield.. The need for a towering striker with stamina should be a priority too,
A RB in the mould of Walker in city, These are the kind of players that will take us to the next level. My two cents.
