We 'signed' Jorginho for Arsenal on deadline day as superb Moises Caicedo alternative

Arsenal look set to complete a late bit of business in the January transfer window, with Chelsea's Jorginho set to move to the Emirates Stadium on deadline day.

A midfielder has been a priority for Mikel Arteta since last summer when Arsenal failed with a late bid for Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz, and after links to multiple middlemen throughout January, the Gunners look set to sign Jorginho from Chelsea. football.london understands that a deal worth £12m has been agreed upon between the Gunners and Chelsea, with the Italian set to sign a contract until 2024.

Jorginho has been at Chelsea since 2018 where he's made over 200 appearances for the Blues, helping them to Europa League and Champions League success. Arsenal had a £70m bid rejected for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after the midfielder released a statement pleading to leave the Seagulls this month, but Brighton's stance did not change, and any move for the Ecuadorian international looks like it will have to wait until the summer.
