Former Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has told the club not to relent in their pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea are up for a massive squad overhaul this summer and this would include watching some top stars, such as Kante, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, among others, leave the club.
Kante is set to join Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ittihad and Kovacic is inching closer to a move to Manchester City.
Leboeuf believes Caicedo would form a perfect partnership with Enzo Fernandez in the heart of Chelsea’s midfield.
The Frenchman wrote in his column for Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, “I think Moises Caicedo from Brighton can be a perfect partner for Enzo Fernandez. Knowing that N’Golo Kante is going, Mateo Kovacic is going, Jorginho left, you need people for that position. I think Caicedo and Enzo is a good match, but we will also need more in that role coming in in case of injuries and suspensions.
“These two are terrific players, but they will need to find a way to combine their skills together to make sure it works and they gel. Enzo is very good at doing Kovacic task. Caicedo is the type of player who can substitute Kante, so it can work, absolutely.”
