Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Caicedo from Brighton in a deal that could be worth a reported £100m.

Talks are understood to have progressed this week, claim The Guardian.

Caicedo is Mauricio Pochettino's top midfielder target and the club want to pay £80m, but the Seagulls are holding out for £20m more.

The 21-year-old wants the transfer and is pushing for a move to Stamford Bridge.

Adams, 24, could follow from Leeds for £20m.

The American has a release clause in his contract after the Whites were relegated last season, which the West Londoners are set to trigger.

And Lavia could join from Southampton after Chelsea submitted a £48m offer as they look to hijack Liverpool's interest.

The Reds have been chasing the Belgian all summer and have reportedly had three bids turned down by the Saints.
