# Liverpool: Journalist says Moises Caicedo could join in January

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/)‘s interest in Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo is ‘long-standing’, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, with a future move to Anfield possible.**

### The Lowdown: Caicedo linked with Liverpool

The 20-year-old is already a key performer for the Seagulls, [starting each](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/211/Show/England-Brighton) of their [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) games so far this term and looking like a hugely exciting prospect.

With Liverpool [on the lookout for](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjh8eivkrL6AhU3S0EAHYzrCgQQFnoECBIQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheathletic.com%2F3611785%2F2022%2F09%2F21%2Fjude-bellingham-transfer-battle-liverpool-united%2F&usg=AOvVaw3UrUaxCJwVfzKzpD7HytvT) new players in the middle of the park, Caicedo is one player who has been [linked](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-set-sights-on-moises-caicedo-after-approach-made/) with coming in and aiding Jurgen Klopp’s rebuild.

For now, the youngster is content at Brighton, but a move away from the Amex Stadium could easily materialise in the near future.

### The Latest: Ben Jacobs on Caicedo’s future

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1573994062625050626?s=20&t=S4bgAAs-X2eEhq7cAWO46A) on Sunday, Jacobs confirmed Liverpool’s interest in Caicedo, adding that a decision will likely be made by the player after the World Cup.

In a succession of tweets, the journalist stated:

> “Liverpool’s interest in Moises Caicedo is long-standing dating back to his time at Independiente del Valle. The challenge back then was a complicated representation situation with a number agencies (including Kancha and PSM) claiming to act on his behalf.

> “Although the fee Brighton eventually paid was low (£4.5million) the agent fees were high. That put off Liverpool and Manchester United, too. Told Caicedo is now very relaxed about his future and will reassess after the World Cup.

> “Offers are expected in January with several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on situation including #LFC and #CFC. Chelsea’s current midfield priority is Ajax’s Edson Alvarez but it remains to seen whether Graham Potter and Kyle Macaulay change that.”

### The Verdict: Superb long-term option

Caicedo could be exactly what Liverpool are seeking in midfield in terms of young legs, great quality and enormous long-term potential.

At just 20 years of age, the Brighton gem already looks such a dominant footballer, not only averaging [2.7 tackles per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/410175/Show/Mois%C3%A9s-Caicedo) in the Premier League this season (substantially more than [anyone in the Reds’ squad](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool)) but also chipping in with one goal.

With James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Thiago now in their 30s and Fabinho about to turn 29, fresh legs are required in [Liverpool’s midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/startseite/verein/31), and Caicedo should be seen as a primary target.

Jurgen Klopp will have the opportunity to witness the youngster up close next weekend when Brighton visit Anfield, a venue where they [have had some joy](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liverpool-fc/bilanzdetail/verein/31/plus/0?gegner_id=1237&saison_id=&wettbewerb_id=&day=&heim_gast=heim&punkte=&datum_von=-&datum_bis=-) in recent visits.
