Chelsea are readying a new bid for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.

The Blues have already failed with one offer for the Ecuador international.

Caicedo has been the subject of strong interest from Chelsea and Liverpool as the underperforming sides seek to strengthen the centre of their respective midfields.

Chelsea have tested Brighton with an initial offer of £55million and the Blues are now considering following that up with an improved bid for the midfield star.

Graham Potter's side are hoping to reinforce their midfield department this month and have identified Brighton's Ecuador international as a potential option, says the Daily Mail.

The Blues boss was the manager who signed Caicedo for Brighton two years ago and is keen on having a reunion with the midfielder at Stamford Bridge.
