Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has confessed his ultimate goal in football is to win the Champions League with his dream club.

Brighton's in-demand midfielder Moises Caicedo has revealed Spanish giants Real Madrid are his dream club and his goal is to win the Champions League while wearing the white jersey of the 14-time winners of the competition.

The Ecuador international was the subject of intense speculation in the January window, with both Arsenal and Chelsea interested in his services. 

He was so eager to move that he even publicly pleaded to be granted an exit from Brighton, only to eventually sign a new contract when his wishes were denied.

Since then, Caicedo has buckled down and played his best football for Brighton while casting admiring glances elsewhere.

With the summer window fast approaching, Caicedo has revealed that his dream move is actually away from English football, naming Real Madrid as his favourite club. 

"It was always my dream to play for Real Madrid," Caicedo told SER, naming Los Blancos as the 'best team in the world'.

"I'm doing things very well now; so why not join Real Madrid one day and win the Champions League? It's my biggest dream.

 "It's very nice to see how Madrid plays and the personality that players like Vinicius Junior, and Eduardo Camavinga. I also really enjoy watching Toni Kroos. To play for Madrid you have to work very hard."

Verdict - Caicedo will remain at Brighton next season.

After signing a new and improved deal and with rumours that Brighton's other key midfielder Alexis MacAllister could be leaving in the summer, it is hard to imagine the Seagulls cashing in on Caicedo, at least for the time being.
