Jamie Redknapp left 'astonished' by Moises Caicedo development after Liverpool bid

Jamie Redknapp has admitted he was astonished to find out Moises Caicedo was reportedly having second thoughts on a move to Anfield.

the Reds having an eye-watering £110 million offer accepted by the Seagulls on Friday.

However, it has been heavily reported that Caicedo favours a move to Stamford Bridge, with the Londoners making the Ecuadorian their top target all summer long.

Liverpool are refusing to walk away from a deal for the 21-year-old midfielder, although Chelsea are said to be preparing an offer in the region of £115m.

Redknapp can't understand why Caicedo is seemingly not jumping at the prospect of joining Jurgen Klopp's squad.

I’m obviously hugely biased in this one – but this is astonishing for me!”

“Normally Liverpool would always, always win this one hands down. I just thought it was inevitable. I woke up as a Liverpool fan, very happy with that one. But then to hear the news that he’s turned Liverpool down…I’ll believe it when I see him in a Chelsea shirt.

“I thought he would look great in that red kit. I thought he would be the perfect signing for Liverpool."

Redknapp added:

"I get the attraction of Chelsea. It’s a huge club. They’ve won so many things over the years.

"But I think in terms of the history of the clubs, I’m amazed, especially with Caicedo joining up with Alexis Mac Allister, I thought it would be a perfect move.”
