Moisés Caicedo to Chelsea is one to watch. There is a real sense, from multiple sources, #CFC may move. Graham Potter when still at Brighton joked £42m would only "get his boots". #BHAFC want around £70-£75m. 
Brighton aren't going to entertain any cut-price sale. They'll inflate the price and knowing Chelsea paid
an above-market-value fee (£62m) for Marc Cucurella only strengthens their position. Brighton don't need to sell in January either. #CFC weighing up an approach as a result.

Caicedo's agent situation is complicated. This presents problems when doing a deal. #LFC explored Caicedo when at Independiente del Valle. They saw value (Brighton ended up paying just £4.5m) but a move came with all kinds of other costs and multiple agents claimed a cut.
Not a lot has changed in terms of how 'messy' a deal might prove. Historical interest doesn't mean anything active right now. Told, contrary to some reports, #LFC have not opened any talks whatsoever with Brighton.
The Newcastle links do have some substance to them. Dan Ashworth has been pushing Caicedo since joining Newcastle from Brighton as sporting director. But Newcastle have some FFP concerns so may also be put off by the price or wait until summer.
Not that #NUFC can't find one big fee in January. It's more whether doing so impacts future windows. They have to be careful not to pre-spend for #UCL, and in doing so incur big outlays and potentially higher wages, only to find their future income doesn't back up that strategy.
