“It will make us stronger as we move forward towards our targets on the pitch.”
Caicedo joined Brighton from Ecuadorian club from Independiente del Valle in February 2021.
The 21-year-old was the subject of two bids from Arsenal in the January transfer window, while Chelsea were also reportedly interested.
Caicedo told Brighton that he wished to leave in an open letter posted on social media, but he remained on the south coast and has now made 29 Premier League appearances for the Seagulls.
