Arsenal may get a clear run at one of Mikel Arteta's long-standing transfer targets, thanks to a recent development involving a key Liverpool player.

The question on every Arsenal fan's mind right now is: who is this mystery player that has been on Arteta's radar for so long? The answer lies in the recent performances of a certain star player at Anfield, who has inadvertently played into the hands of the Gunners.

According to reports, the player in question is none other than Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder, Moises Caicedo. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian has been a long-term target for the Gunners, with Arteta said to be a huge admirer of his skills and potential.

However, Liverpool have also been keeping a close eye on Caicedo, and many believed that they would eventually win the race for his signature. But, with the recent emergence of a new star midfielder at Anfield, it seems that the Reds' interest in Caicedo has waned.

As a result, Arsenal may now have a clear run at signing the talented youngster, who is said to be valued at around £80 million. The Gunners have already shown that they are willing to spend big in the transfer market, and they may be willing to splash out even more cash to get their man.

While nothing is confirmed just yet, the signs are certainly looking good for Arsenal. Arteta has always maintained that he needs to strengthen his midfield if the Gunners are to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, and Caicedo would be an excellent addition to his squad.

But, the question remains: will Arsenal take advantage of this opportunity? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the Gunners' fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any potential transfer developments in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, it's worth keeping an eye on the situation at Anfield, where the emergence of this new star midfielder could have major implications for the entire Premier League. Will Caicedo end up at Arsenal, or will another club come in and snatch him up? The world of football is full of surprises, and this transfer saga is sure to be one to watch.
