Roberto De Zerbi confirms imminent Brighton departures of Arsenal & Liverpool targets

Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi has, on Sunday evening, all but confirmed the imminent departures of two key members of his squad.

The players in question? Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.

Brighton, of course, were back in action a short time ago, closing out their season in a Premier League meeting with Aston Villa.

Both Mac Allister and Caicedo, meanwhile, played their part, the former from the off, and the 2nd off the bench.

With speculation surrounding the futures of both continuing to spread like wildfire in the media, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of their potential summer departures was put to the aforementioned De Zerbi.

And Brighton’s headmaster was not at all shy in admitting that Caicedo – in the sights of Arsenal and Chelsea, and Mac Allister – on the wishlist at Liverpool, look all set to take their respective talents elsewhere ahead of next season:
