# Arsenal name-checked as Moises Caicedo changes agents

**[Arsenal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/arsenal-fc-news/) transfer target Moises Caicedo has officially changed agents as he possibly looks to push through a move away from Brighton, Fabrizio Romano reports.**

### The Lowdown: Arsenal keen on Caicedo

The Gunners are having a superb season, topping the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) table by five points and thriving in midfield, with the combination of Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka’s control and bite sitting perfectly behind the elegance of Martin Odegaard.

Arsenal have [emerged](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-chelsea-fc-latest-transfer-news-caicedo-onana-b1055143.html) as a contender in the Caicedo stakes, alongside Chelsea and Liverpool, as Mikel Arteta looks to keep improving his squad and create a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

Now, the Brighton man has made a big decision, one which potentially hints at sealing a high-profile move to one of the biggest clubs in the country.

### The Latest: Romano gives update

According to Romano on *his* [*Caught Offside Substack*](https://caughtoffside.substack.com/) \[via Caught Offside on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/caughtoffside/status/1617795218140438528?s=20&t=rkJ7kIp1MTnXbEQL4kOiKQ)\], Caicedo has switched agents in a bid to force through a transfer, with the Gunners name-checked in the update:

> “Moises Caicedo has officially changed agents, @FabrizioRomano confirms. Chelsea remain in the race, but he’s not their only option. Arsenal & Liverpool also being kept informed on Caicedo.”

### The Verdict: Get it done?

Caicedo would be exactly what Arsenal are looking for in midfield, providing extra legs and dynamism that could further guide them to Premier League glory, becoming a rotation option to allow the likes of Partey and Xhaka the occasional rest.

The 21-year-old has averaged [2.9 tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/410175/Show/Mois%C3%A9s-Caicedo) and 1.4 interceptions per game in the league this season – in comparison, Partey has [2.3 and 1.2](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/13/Show/England-Arsenal), respectively –  while he enjoyed an [89% pass completion rate](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-brighton-and-hove-albion/FsU) in the 3-0 win over Liverpool earlier this month, showing his class and quality in a big game.

Jamie Redknapp has [described](https://tbrfootball.com/magnificent-jamie-redknapp-says-midfielder-liverpool-reportedly-want-to-sign-makes-tackling-look-so-easy/) Caicedo as ‘magnificent’ and he has played a key part in Brighton’s success, so a January move to Arsenal could help make a potentially legendary season even more likely.
