Brighton’s midfielder, Moises Caicedo, has expressed his desire to be allowed to leave the club before the end of the transfer window.
English Premier League sides, Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC have both expressed his desire to sign the Ecuadorian international.
Arsenal has already had a £60m bid rejected for the 21-year-old on Friday.
In an Instagram post on Friday evening, the midfielder expressed his desire to leave the seagulls, while also calling on the club to accept bids for him.
“I always play football with a smile and with heart,” the statement by the Ecuador international said. “I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful.
“I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador. My dream always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador.
“The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take this magnificent opportunity.”
Caicedo has made 26 appearances in the Premier League, scoring twice and is under contract until 2025.
