Brighton & Hove Albion coach Roberto De Zerbi stated on Friday that "midfielder Moisés Caicedo is no longer a concern for his team, which is preparing to face Luton Town in the opening match of the new English Premier League season on Saturday." De Zerbi told reporters: "I have already forgotten about Moisés. I am really proud of the players we have in the squad. We want to continue improving. The credit goes to the club. Big clubs can buy our players, but they cannot buy our team spirit."
He added: "We don't have enough players yet; we need to complete the squad. I want players who wish to join us. We are Brighton; we achieved a great goal last year, similar to Liverpool and better than Chelsea. I want players who are proud to play for Brighton."
After an impressive performance with Brighton, Caicedo (21 years old) was linked with leaving the Amex Stadium following 37 matches last season, helping Brighton to finish sixth and qualify for European competition for the first time. Caicedo has attracted the interest of several clubs during the transfer period, including Chelsea, but British media reported on Friday that Liverpool has reached an agreement to sign him for £111 million ($140.91 million).
