Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund: Blues suffer Nkunku blow
The summer signing for Chelsea spent just 20 minutes before he walked away against Borussia Dortmund in a friendly.
Pochettino believes that Caicedo, who moved to Brighton from Independiente del Valle in 2021 for just £3.6 million, is the ideal midfield partner for World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.
According to the Sun, Mauricio Pochettino is determined to sign the Ecuadorian from Brighton as a replacement for Kovacic who left for Man City.
Owner Tony Bloom has no interest in selling Caicedo for less than £100m, despite Roberto De Zerbi's statement that the player "deserves to play in another level" late last season.
After Chelsea's exhibition match against Newcastle, Pochettino was asked if his team needed a new midfielder, to which he responded: "That’s the idea. The club is working on that.
“We need to add a player there. We need one more with experience. It depends on the situation of different players. We need at least one more and we are working on that. It depends on what happens in the next few weeks."
