Brighton's dressing room is 'sticking with' Moises Caicedo despite the midfielder BEGGING to leave for Arsenal in January, reveals captain Lewis Dunk... with Gunners falling short with £70m bid

Brighton's squad will 'stick with' Moises Caicedo despite the Ecuadorian begging to leave the club for Arsenal in January, reveals captain Lewis Dunk.

Arsenal showed strong interest in Caicedo and had two offers rejected for him, the second of which was worth £70million.

Caicedo pushed for a move, going public with his pleas on social media, but Brighton stood firm and now Dunk believes it is incumbent on his team-mates to help alleviate the 'difficult situation'.

'Obviously it was a difficult situation for him and these things happen in football,' Dunk told talkSPORT.
