'Agent Jorginho!' - Chelsea fans poke fun at Arsenal as Rio Ferdinand transfer claim backfires

Chelsea supporters have poked fun at Arsenal fans on social media after Everton ended the Gunners' unbeaten streak in the Premier League. James Tarkowski handed the Toffees the lead after quarter of an hour into the second-half at Goodison Park — just seconds after Thomas Partey was replaced by Jorginho.

And, Blues fans pounced on the chance to, in jest, thank the Italy international for his role in Sean Dyche's side clinching a lead. While Jorginho had no significant influence on Tarkowski leaping above his marker, Martin Odegaard, and nodding the ball past Aaron Ramsdale, he was quickly titled 'agent Jorginho' by supporters online.

There is a running joke among Chelsea fans that players who are at the end of their career at Stamford Bridge end up joining the north Londoners, such as Petr Cech, Willian and David Luiz, and they are then, in jest, titled labelled as 'undercover agents' plotting against Arsenal.
