Why Caicedo misses Brighton game? Conflicting reports emerge

Moises Caicedo is out of Brighton's squad for their friendly against Rayo Vallecano - and rumours immediately started swirling.

According to Fabrizio Romano, this is a clear message from the player's side that he wants a move to Chelsea. The clubs are still locked in talks over the midfielder's valuation.

However, CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs offers another version of events, claiming that the 21-year-old has picked up a minor hamstring issue.

That said, even Jacobs points out that last summer, Marc Cucurella missed a Brighton game with a minor injury before completing a move to Stamford Bridge six days later.

So far, Chelsea's biggest offer for Caicedo has been ₤80m. Brighton rejected it as they are holding out for ₤100m.
