Why Brighton star Moises Caicedo is the perfect man for Mauricio Pochettino to build his Chelsea team around as Blues eye £100m midfielder as N'Golo Kante's replacement

Chelsea are prepared to break the bank once again to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo - and it's no surprise why.

The Blues have had a £70m offer rejected for the highly-rated 21-year-old, who has attracted the interest of several top clubs thanks to his fine performances for the Seagulls.

Caicedo seems the natural fit to fill the void left by N'Golo Kante, after the Frenchman joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.

Kante has been joined out of the exit door by Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount this summer, while Jorginho left in the January transfer window - all three men signing for rival clubs.
