Arsenal appear to have completed a deal to sign the Italian international Jorginho from Chelsea, as Mikel Arteta adds some experience to his midfield.
The 31-year-old is said to be signing on an 18-month contract, and joins the Gunners at a time when they have recently lost the Egyptian international Mohamed Elneny for a number of weeks due to injury.
Ghanaian Thomas Partey also suffered a rib injury in last Friday's FA Cup fourth round defeat to Manchester City, but is not thought to be too serious.
