The Gunners could not sign the Seagulls’ star when their £70 million offer was previously rebuffed.
Moises Caicedo’s agent, Manuel Sierra has offered an optimistic update on the midfielder’s future amid fresh interest from Arsenal.
Sierra praised Arsenal, a club that has been linked with the Ecuadorian in the past. The Gunners were close to signing the midfielder, but the deal did not materialize in the end.
"Arsenal is a great team for everyone; let’s see what happens in the summer, there are many clubs keen on Moises," Sierra told Arsenal Insider.
"Moises has four years left on his contract. He’s having an incredible season, so it’s normal that there are many clubs interested in him.
"Now he’s completely focused on the last part of the season; all evaluations will be postponed until the summer."
