BREAKING: #Chelsea Officially Confirm Signing £115MILLION Moises Caicedo From #Brighton [VIDEO/PHOTOS]—-Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Moises Caicedo after agreeing to a British record £115million deal.
Brighton held firm in their valuation of Caicedo all summer and had knocked back several previous attempts by the Blues and other Premier League giants.
An auction between clubs soon emerged, with Liverpool the first to agree a fee and boss Jurgen Klopp namechecking the player in his pre-weekend press conference, in what they thought was to be a £111m move.
However, the Ecaudor has been set on a move to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea came back in with a huge offer of £115m which was accepted, and he has now put pen to paper.
The saga – which has now seen Romeo Lavia also reject Liverpool in favour of Chelsea – comes as a massive blow to Liverpool and their boss Klopp, who will feel he is now scrambling for options in the middle of the park.
