Alexis Mac Allister could hold key to Moises Caicedo future after mystery Liverpool ‘like’ disappears

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo has faced intense scrutiny over his future amid Liverpool and Chelsea interest

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo has stormed his way to the forefront of the transfer conversation.

Southampton’s Romeo Lavia had dominated the landscape after the Reds saw three bids rejected for the 19-year-old Belgian. The latest rejection came prior to their final pre-season friendly against SV Darmstadt after an offer worth up to £46m was rebuffed by the Championship club.

Late on Wednesday, it had emerged that Chelsea had exceeded the bid previously tabled by Liverpool for Lavia.
