Edu and Mikel Arteta explain Jorginho transfer after Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice approaches

Arsenal have completed the signing of Jorginho from Chelsea to become the Gunners' third signing of the January transfer window.

Mikel Arteta's men had previously added Leandro Trossard from Brighton and defender Jakub Kiwior but a new midfielder had been made the priority following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny. Brighton's Moises Caicedo had been identified as the north Londoners' number one target but Brighton's reluctance to budge meant Jorginho was acquired.

football.london understands that the Italian has made the switch across London for a deal worth £10million in guaranteed fees with an additional £2million in add-ons. He has signed an initial 18-month contract at the Emirates Stadium, with an option for an extra year.
