Chelsea midfielder Jorginho set to join Arsenal in £12m deal. Jorginho, a midfielder for Chelsea, will be one of the select few talents to represent the two London titans after agreeing to a £12 million per year contract from Arsenal.
Before the transfer window closes, the Italian midfielder who moved to Stamford Bridge from Napoli in 2018 is expected to head to North London.
He was expected to become a free agent in the summer of 2023, thus both teams have agreed to the terms of the pact.

After failing to buy Moises Caicedo from Brighton, the Gunners developed an interest in the Italian. They sent two bids, with a third effort looking iffy as the transfer window ends on Tuesday.
If the transaction is approved, Jorginho, who has won the Champions League, Super Cup, and FIFA World Club Cup with Chelsea, would join other players who have played for both teams, like Ashely Cole, David Luiz, Petr Cech, William Gallas, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
