Brighton and Hove Albion remain steadfast in their stance that Moisés Caicedo is not for sale in this transfer window.
According to Ben Jacobs, the player’s agents are actively working to monitor his departure and are “doing everything in their power” to force a move in January. However, the club does not give in its decision.
Moises Caicedo’s new agents are still active and doing everything in their power to get a move in January. But there’s frustration that Brighton won’t commit or provide them or the suitors with a specific number. Brighton also told #AFC directly that the player is not for sale. pic.twitter.com/PfH7PYBIFv

There has been speculation about Caicedo’s future for several weeks, but even more so in the last day, as Arsenal turned down a £60m offer from the Seagulls.
The 21-year-old then opted to speak out about the situation himself, taking to Twitter to express his desire to leave Brighton in a candid statement.
The fans have taken me into their hearts and will always be in my heart, so I hope you can understand why I want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.”

Caicedo will not play for the club until the transfer market closes
Since then, the Ecuadorian was told not to attend training until February 1 after the transfer deadline expired. Therefore, he will be excluded from the matchday squad to face Liverpool in the FA Cup, and Roberto De Zerbi expects him to play a key role during the second half of the season.
The Gunners and Chelsea are the two clubs in the running for Caicedo. Liverpool has been linked and has not shown concrete interest.
