Chelsea’s director of recruitment has got fans talking after he left a comment on Moises Caicedo’s Instagram Live following Brighton's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

Caicedo, who has been one of Brighton's standout performers for large parts of the season, continues to be linked with a big-money move.

In fact, Arsenal had two bids for the Ecuadorian midfielder rejected in January, with the second offer thought to be worth up around £70 million.

The Gunners are favourites to sign Caicedo this summer, despite interest from rivals Chelsea, according to Football Insider.

But some think Joe Shields, the 'co-director of recruitment and talent' at Stamford Bridge, is trying his best to persuade the 21-year-old midfielder to join the Blues instead.

In the aftermath of Wednesday night's Premier League clash between Brighton and Manchester City at the Amex stadium, Caicedo went live on his Instagram story in the dressing room.

Here, two clapping emojis were sent from Shields – a gesture that was spotted by many Chelsea supporters on social media.

One fan commented on the incident, saying: "Joe Shields got something special for us. Moises Caicedo to Chelsea is happening," while another wrote: "He’s coming to the biggest club in London."

A third added: "Joe Shields we see you brother. Midfield partner for Enzo?"

Shields, who joined the ranks at Stamford Bridge in October last after being snapped up from Southampton, has been advising owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali over recruitment matters.

After his appointment was made official, Boehly and Eghbali said: "Joe is another great addition to Chelsea, and we’re thrilled to have him on board.

"We have a clear plan and will adopt a modern and data-driven philosophy, focused on elite emerging talent. We’re assembling a deep and collaborative management team who are eager to build a continued sustained winner at Chelsea.

"Joe has a great track record and understanding of the game and emerging talent. We know we have another strong leader and a team player who will help us continue to build our world-class football organisation."
