There are reports that Arsenal & Chelsea have agreed a £12m deal for Jorginho. And he’s going to sign 1& half contract with the option of a further year, after agreeing personal terms. Honestly it’s not the kind of signing Arsenal fans had expected but he’s not a bad option to have on the bench TBH. Adds something to them, however small it might be. Partey is fit (hopefully he will remain fit), so Jorginho might have little to do. Then in summer they go again to sign better prospect in the midfield.
Jorginho was not the right choice for Arteta to bring to the Emirates Stadium. however, signing a new midfielder has so far been elusive. the problem is, the offer made by the Gunners has been rejected by Brighton. despite rumors, Caicedo has begged to leave at the end of this January. Arsenal's second bid is believed to be around £70 million, but it is clearly still not enough for Brigthon. another name still on Arsenal's list is Amadou Onana, with a price tag of around £50m, but it is unclear whether Arsenal see him as an alternative to Caicedo. which in the end, Arsenal looked at other options in Jorginho as an alternative. at least until this season ends, and even then if a price agreement is made between Chelsea and Arsenal.
Meanwhile, journalist Jacque Talbot says that Arsenal have made a third bid for Caicedo in the last few hours. Talbot also claims Arsenal have worked out a deal so that Brighton will receive a large lump-sum payment upfront, with the remainder set for a future date. if the reports are true, it is great news to replace the rumored Partey who has been injured.
The signature of Caicedo from Brighton may not be completed this deadline, the conclusion of Jorginho is quite clear Arteta is comfortable with the Italian midfielder. The deal is cool since Arsenal will not submit an improved bid to Brighton.
Some Arsenal fans said bullshit about Jorginho, isn't it suprising to see how he's an Arsenal player?
I know he will blend in with the absence of Thomas Partey who will be absent for six weeks.
Arsenal should move for better players if they finally wins the Premier League, Jorginho will bring experience to the squad and balance.
