Arsenal’s latest £70 million offer for midfielder Moises Caicedo has been rejected by Brighton.
The club insists that they will not be selling the 21-year-old in January.
The Seagulls are adamant about keeping Caicedo despite the fact that the winter transfer window is scheduled to close on Tuesday at 11 p.m.
If Brighton accepted Arsenal’s latest offer for Caicedo, it would have been a club-record transfer, surpassing the £60m sale of Marc Cucurella to Chelsea in the summer.
The Gunners also saw their initial £60m offer for the Ecuador international rejected.
This led to the player going public on social media, to plead with Brighton to allow him leave the Amex.
Caicedo has been ordered to stay away from training until after Tuesday’s transfer deadline following his Instagram post.
