Liverpool are keeping an eye on Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, according to reports in the English media.
The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea have all been mentioned as potential suitors for the 20-year-old in recent days but it appears his performances have also grabbed the attention of the Reds.
Fans on Twitter believe Caicedo would be a good addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad, although a few doubt that Liverpool will be signing anyone before the transfer window shuts:

The Ecuadorian international is undoubtedly a very talented young player but it should be pointed out that he has only made 12 appearances for Brighton, even though he moved to the south coast over eighteen months ago.
Caicedo spent the first half of last season at Belgian club Beerschot before rising to prominence with the Seagulls in the closing months of the campaign. Despite being untested at the highest level, he could still cost a sizeable fee, which may put off Liverpool from making an approach, especially with so many other Premier League teams involved.
