It’s been immensely successful for them, most notably signing Moises Caicedo from Independiente del Valle for a reported £4 million before selling him on to Chelsea for £115 million.

According to The Athletic, Orozco, 18, is set to become the latest after Brighton agreed a deal with his current club, Deportivo Cali.

The central midfielder has made 24 appearances in the Colombian Primera and managed to score twice across all competitions.

It’s understood that once the deal is completed, Orozco will be sent out on loan in order to gain valuable first-team experience.
