'He’s relaxed. I spoke to him like a father, not a coach.'
Caicedo is ‘considering handing in a transfer request’ after being left disappointed that the club rejected the bid from Arsenal.
The newspaper added: ‘Caicedo is also concerned he may not get chance to join Arsenal or Chelsea in the summer as they’re actively looking for midfielders now.’ But Brighton boss De Zerbi insisted that the midfielder is calm amid reports, he added: “He’s relaxed. I spoke to him like a father, not a coach. I understand when a player has a possibility to change team and go to a big team, [it is a big moment]. My work is to give the style of play, but also advice on his career and life.
“I have to repeat. The problem is never selling, but who you want to buy. You can improve if a big player leaves; we have to know our level. Together we want to improve. Interest in our players is good for us.” On possible incomings at the Amex Stadium, De Zerbi continued: “I don’t expect anything. I’m used to speaking abot the transfer market. I think if we stay like this I’m happy, but I haven’t had any news on the transfer market.”
