# Liverpool: Reds ‘exploring’ Moises Caicedo deal

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are ‘exploring’ a deal to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo, according to reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Klopp eyeing midfield upgrades?

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp could be plotting to upgrade his midfield options at Anfield going by recent reports as [links continue to surround](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-premier-league-jude-bellingham-reds-transfer-news-updates/) Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) giants have faded out of this year’s title race and could now be looking to salvage a European finish whilst planning for next season.

Bellingham, however, isn’t the only star midfielder who could make a move to Merseyside given Caicedo is even linked with a Liverpool transfer this month.

### The Latest: Liverpool ‘exploring’ Caicedo deal…

Indeed, Liverpool are said to be ‘exploring’ a deal to sign the Seagulls star alongside other top flight competitors.

However, it will take a huge bid to persuade Caicedo’s club to sell mid-season.

Romano explained on [Twitter:](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1618302947020132352)

*“Three clubs are exploring Caicedo deal after new agents statement: Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are informed on the situation, as revealed on Monday.*

*“Brighton, not intentioned to sell unless they receive really huge proposal.”*

### The Verdict: Make the move?

Caicedo has played a starring role for Brighton under both Graham Potter and Roberto De Zerbi this season with the latter coach calling him a [‘big player’.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-transfers-moises-caicedo-brighton-29014466)

The Ecuador international has certainly stood out at the Amex statistically – ranking as their chief defensive anchor in midfield with more tackles per 90 on average than any Brighton player [(WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/211/Show/England-Brighton).

Out of every man in De Zerbi’s squad with over six league starts, only Alexis Mac Allister and Lewis Dunk have averaged a superior pass accuracy than the South American [(88.2%).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/211/Show/England-Brighton)

Caicedo, as well as a robustness, would bring calmness and composure to Klopp’s midfield ranks with the 21-year-old also being called the ideal Liverpool signing.

Journalist Ryan Taylor has branded Brighton’s star as the ‘[perfect fit’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2023/01/blogs/premier-league/liverpool/january-transfer-news-caicedo-brighton-premier-league/) for them, and since [only Thiago](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool) has a better rate of challenges per 90 than him out of Liverpool’s squad, we’re inclined to agree.
