Brighton will reportedly give Liverpool priority to sign midfielder Moises Caicedo in January.
After losing Yves Bissouma, Brighton fans may have been concerned about their lack of quality in midfield heading into the new season.
Billy Gilmour entered the window late, but it is Caicedo’s performance that will have eased his worries.
The Ecuadorian midfielder has had an exceptional performance so far this season, despite being only 20 years old.
Caicedo has been attracting interest from many clubs around Europe and according to Ecuadorian publication Tera Deportes (via the Daily Express), Liverpool were interested in signing Caicedo this summer.

Brighton were understandably uninterested in shedding another midfielder during the transfer window, but they will reportedly give priority to Liverpool before signing him in January.
Brighton have told all interested clubs to wait until after the World Cup to try and sign Caicedo, and after only signing for £4.5m they could already make significant profits.
Usually selling key players so soon after signing them would be a concern, but given Brighton’s excellent recruiting network, there’s no doubt the next Caicedo will already be lined up.
