Liverpool have reportedly made an attempt to hijack Chelsea’s target for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.

The Blues have been in pole position to sign the 21-year-old all summer but Brighton have rejected multiple bids from the club.

Liverpool’s offer for the Ecuadorian is believed to be more than Chelsea’s last offer of £75 m plus £5m in add-ons.

This comes after sources reported that Chelsea made an offer of £48 million for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia who is a top target for Liverpool.

Southampton are yet to respond to Chelsea’s offer for their midfielder.
