Brighton Transfers To Chelsea

**Chelsea Break British Transfer Record with £103m Deal for Caicedo** In a remarkable summer of spending, Chelsea have secured another major signing with the British record purchase of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for £78 million. The Ecuadorian international, who joined Brighton from Independiente del Valle in 2021, has become the club's latest star to depart, following a string of departures to top-flight rivals. Since July 2021, Brighton have sold nine players, three of them to Chelsea, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez also making the move to Stamford Bridge for £25 million. The Blues' latest spending spree has been astronomical, with Chelsea now holding the record for the most expensive midfield signing in British history. David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that Brighton will receive an additional £25 million for Sanchez, bringing the total cost of both transfers to £103 million. Chelsea remain in talks with Brighton over a possible move for Caicedo, with the fee expected to surpass the club's previous record signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £107 million. The Blues' spending spree shows no signs of slowing down, as they continue to strengthen their squad ahead of a potential title challenge.
