Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has emerged as a surprise transfer target for Arsenal on deadline day, football.london understands. The 31-year-old is out of contract in the summer and Mikel Arteta is thought to be keen on the Italian.
The Gunners are in the market for a midfielder and have been strongly linked with a move for Brighton's Moises Caicedo. The Ecuador international wants to make the move to north London but Brighton have so far rejected two Arsenal bids.
Arsenal are now thought to be looking at a deal to bring in Jorginho as an alternative and football.london understands Todd Boehly is open to letting the midfielder leave if the fee is suitable as they near a deal for Benfica's Enzo Fernandez. As mentioned above the former Napoli man has just six months remaining on his contract and hasn't given any indication he will sign an extension.
