Arsenal have agreed a deal with London rivals Chelsea to sign central midfielder Jorginho, football.london understands.
The Italian will arrive at the Emirates Stadium for £10million in guaranteed fees with a further £2million in add-ons, signing a contract until summer 2024, with the club holding the option of an extra year. The Gunners are also in talks with Crystal Palace over a loan move for young midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, football.london understands whilst Mohamed Elneny is set for an extended spell on the sidelines as his knee injury has proven to be more serious than initially feared.
Mikel Arteta admitted that his side are short of options in the centre of the park earlier this month, telling football.london: "We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can. In this market, it’s pretty complicated to do that.
