The last days of the transfer window can always spring a surprise. Given their activity throughout January, many may have tipped Chelsea to be involved but perhaps not as the selling club. Instead, Arsenal take that role having agreed a £10million deal that could rise as high as £12million for Italian midfielder Jorginho.
The Chelsea ace, who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2018, is set to join the Gunners on an 18-month deal that has an option for a further year. Mikel Arteta's side make the move having failed in their attempts to land Moises Caicedo thus far.
With a deal for Enzo Fernandez proving elusive for the moment, many may be concerned about Chelsea's midfield options heading into the final months of the season. Jorginho has 25 appearances for the Blues this term and been a consistent part of Graham Potter's side with the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Denis Zakaria and N'Golo Kante all managing or suffering from injuries at various stages of the season.
