Chelsea fans fear ‘more Brighton rejection’ as they plot ANOTHER transfer raid on Seagulls amid Caicedo chase
CHELSEA fans fear “more Brighton rejection” amid their Moises Caicedo struggles.
That’s with the Blues reportedly lining up a transfer move for Seagulls goalie Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea have so far been thwarted in their attempts to bring Caicedo to Stamford Bridge.
Mauricio Pochettino has seen several bids for the Ecuadorian midfielder rejected, with Brighton holding out for £100million.
And claims Chelsea are now set to hold talks with their Premier League rivals for another player.
It’s reckoned Pochettino wants to sign a new goalie to challenge Kepa Arrizabalaga for the No1 spot.

Another declared: “I’m tired of us dealing with Brighton, enough is enough.”
One noted: “Brighton again? Are they actually serious.”
Another added: “What’s this Chelsea and Brighton business, I don’t understand anymore.”
