Jorginho’s Deadline Day transfer to Arsenal from Chelsea looks to be very much on at the time of writing.
Various high-profile journalists are now providing updates on this deal, with Jorginho having accepted an offer to move to the Emirates Stadium, and just waiting for the green light from Chelsea to have his medical with the Gunners.
The experienced Italy international is expected to cost around £13million, according to Miguel Delaney, while Matt Law states that it’s between £10-12m, which is considerably more than Chelsea currently value him due to him being so close to the end of his contract.
See below for updates from Delaney, Law, and CaughtOffside columnist Fabrizio Romano as this deal edges closer…

Jorginho could be a useful signing to give Arsenal more strength in depth in midfield, with Mikel Arteta lacking options behind Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka.
Although Moises Caicedo was Arsenal’s priority, it looks like Brighton’s stance on keeping the player proved too strong, and they’ve turned to Jorginho as an alternative.
Am not happy coz we lost mudrky to chealse so we shud be very eager to convince brighton for caciodo moise
I am so happy to add a big player to our team
Arsenal still being Chelsea players retirement home…. gallas, benayoun, Luiz, willian, cech, diarra…. no jorginho.. take him. Chelsea building different this season. Watch next year!!! Caicedo to Chelsea. If arsenal win that battle… fair play. But you go for joghinho… knowing you are not lol
