Roberto De Zerbi calls on Brighton fans to back Moises Caicedo for the rest of the season - with wantaway Ecuador star set to return to the squad after being forced to stay after £70m Arsenal bid was rejected

Roberto De Zerbi has urged Brighton fans to get behind wantaway midfielder Moises Caicedo for the remainder of the season.

Caicedo is poised to return to Albion's matchday squad for Saturday's home game with Bournemouth after failing to force a move before the transfer deadline.

The Seagulls turned down two bids from Premier League leaders Arsenal for the Ecuador international, while Chelsea were also reportedly interested.

Having last week expressed his desire to leave the club in an open letter posted on social media, Caicedo was given time off until the closure of the transfer window and missed Sunday's 2-1 FA Cup win over Liverpool.
