Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi says he is planning to have midfielder Moises Caicedo in his squad for next season amid transfer interest from Chelsea.
Caicedo is one of Chelsea's long-term transfer targets and a £70m bid was rejected this week.
The 21-year-old has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs, with Arsenal also trying to sign the Ecuadorian in January.
"At the moment Moises is a Brighton player," De Zerbi said.
Speaking in the United States, where his team is participating in the Premier League Summer Series alongside five other English sides including Chelsea, De Zerbi added: "I spoke with [club owner] Tony Bloom and he told me if the conditions don't change, Moises stays with us.
