Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is close to completing a deadline day move to Arsenal. Frustrated by Brighton & Hove Albion's reluctance to sell Moises Caicedo, the Gunners quickly turned their attention to the Italian in what is somewhat of a surprise move.
football.london understands Arsenal will pay £10million up front for the 31-year-old with a further £2million in add-ons which could hinge on conditions such as whether or not Arsenal win the Premier League. The 31-year-old will join on an initial 18-month contract with the option to extend by a further year.
Jorginho has just six months remaining on his Chelsea contract and it's believed Todd Boehly was always willing to let the midfielder leave Stamford Bridge at the right price. But not many expected Edu and Mikel Arteta to go in for the former Napoli man.
