Arsenal's move for Jorginho could see Albert Sambi Lokonga depart the Emirates Stadium amid his lack of game time.
Lokonga joined ahead of last season but has struggled for opportunities this campaign amid the Gunners' charge to the top of the Premier League. Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard have been Mikel Arteta 's preferred midfield partnership.
With that trio staying mostly free of injury and suspension, Lokonga has been forced to make do with a place on the bench. But he could now be offered an escape route, with Jorginho set to arrive at the Gunners on deadline day.
