Clearing out his locker
Moises Caicedo did not hold back in his quest to leave Brighton and join Chelsea. He made it clear that he wanted out by cleaning out his locker before the transfer was officially completed.
The most dramatic transfer saga
Caicedo's £115million move to Chelsea has been the talk of the summer transfer window. The Ecuadorian midfielder's transfer snubbed Liverpool and created plenty of drama between the two Premier League clubs.
Forcing the move
Brighton was determined to get the right price for their star player, which meant Caicedo had to take matters into his own hands. According to The Telegraph, he held talks with manager Roberto De Zerbi to make it clear that he wanted to leave the club. He then proceeded to empty his locker at the training ground and walk away.
A history of trying to force a move
This is not the first time Caicedo has tried to force a transfer. Last January, he made public pleas on Instagram to leave Brighton and join Arsenal. Despite two rejected bids from the Gunners, Caicedo's move to Chelsea marks the end of that spectacle.
A surprise revelation
While Chelsea celebrated their new signing on social media, it was revealed that Caicedo had dreamt of playing for Manchester United in the past. This revelation seems to contradict the club's claim that he has been a Chelsea fan since childhood.
Debut on the horizon
With the transfer saga finally over, Caicedo can now focus on his debut for Chelsea. The British record signing is expected to make his first appearance in their upcoming London derby against West Ham this weekend.
