Manchester United and Liverpool entering the race to sign Moises Caicedo race proves what a huge mistake West Ham boss David Moyes made.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has claimed that both Manchester United and Liverpool are ‘highly interested’ in signing the Brighton midfielder.
Caicedo is said to be worth around £42 million (The Daily Mail), although ex-Brighton boss Graham Potter suggested that it will take more than double that to prise him away from the south coast club.
It’s little wonder why there Seagulls ace is in such high demand – he is a truly sensational player.
Jamie Redknapp recently described the young midfielder as a ‘revelation’ (Sussex World).
It seems as though West Ham boss David Moyes should have signed him when he had the chance.
With Man United and Liverpool now lurking, he could very well end up at either Old Trafford or Anfield in the January transfer window…
West Ham boss David Moyes could be left with massive regret
Manchester United and Liverpool are ‘highly interested in signing Brighton ace Moises Caicedo in January, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg:
The 21-year-old is a truly top-class player.
90 Min recently described the midfielder as ‘outstanding’, and they’re not wrong! What a player he is.
Caicedo has adapted so well to the robust and intense nature of Premier League football, which is quite remarkable considering the fact that he’s only 21.
He is a powerful and energetic central midfielder and had bagged two goals and two assists in 25 games for Brighton thus far (Transfermarkt).
Caicedo possesses stamina in abundance and has all of the attributes that Moyes needs to add to his central midfield options this summer.
In 14 Premier League outings so far this season, the Ecuadorian ace has averaged 3.1 tackles, 1.4 interceptions and 0.6 clearances per match. He’s made 53.9 passes per game on average and has recorded a completion rate of 87.3% (Who Scored).
Caicedo would literally have been the perfect signing for us in the summer of 2021, or January 2022.
Passing up on the chance to sign him now looks like a truly massive mistake from West Ham manager David Moyes.
And that will be even more the case, if either Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag or Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp manage to sign the 21-year-old in January.
