Arsenal’s £6.2m no-brainer Jorginho alternative helping Edu avoid repeat Chelsea transfer error

The days of Arsenal buying Chelsea players surplus to requirements seemed long gone. The tables had looked to have turned when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rocked up on the previous deadline day in the summer.

Chelsea would fall to tenth in the table whilst Arsenal have been smashing the league and sitting top of the pile. However, just five months after that Aubameyang shock switch it appears the Gunners may be falling back into their old ways through necessity.

Desperate to sign a midfielder, Arsenal are exploring the possibility of signing Jorginho as Mikel Arteta looks to get a player who can provide the club with some guaranteed impact. The 31-year-old is potentially available, and Chelsea would be open to a sale reportedly around the £15m-£20m range.
