Fabrizio Romano had revealed at the beginning of August that Jeremy Doku was on Manchester City’s shortlist of wingers to…

Jurgen Klopp is a known admirer of the 21-year-old and is keen to bolster his options in midfield following the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. But Caicedo’s preference was always Stamford Bridge and he effectively turned down a move to Liverpool to hold out for Chelsea. Given Brighton accepted a £111m bid for Caicedo, it was then up to Chelsea to at least match that offer in order to bring the Ecuador international to west London. But Chelsea have not just matched…
