Brighton chief Barber concedes Arsenal target Caicedo will eventually leave

Brighton chief Paul Barber admits Moises Caicedo will eventually 'get his chance' to play for a bigger club.

The Ecuador international was denied the opportunity to move to Arsenal in January.

Speaking to The Beautiful Game Podcast, Barber said: “For us in January selling Moises was not a good move.

“He was one of our best players at the beginning of the season, and we were in a great position in the league, still in the FA Cup and there was a lot of football to play.

“We want to try and achieve our best-ever finish in the Premier League and if we do that there is a chance that we could qualify for European competitions.

“The stakes for us in the second half of the season and Moises was a big part of that."
