LONDON :Chelsea have broken the British transfer record for the second time in a year by signing Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion on an eight-year contract on Monday.
Caicedo was also the subject of a close season tug-of-war between Chelsea and Liverpool, whose manager Juergen Klopp confirmed last week that the Merseyside club had reached an agreement with Brighton over his transfer. "Moises expressed a strong desire to move on and at that point it was crucial our valuation was met in full," Brighton chairman Tony Bloom said.Caicedo signed for Brighton in February 2021 for a reported 4.5 million pounds and was loaned to Belgian club Beerschot in August that year. He was recalled to Brighton in January 2022 after 14 appearances in Belgium.
"Chelsea are getting one of the top midfielders in the world. Moises has been one of our exceptional players over the past 18 months," Brighton technical director David Weir said.
