In a shock move on deadline day, Premier League leaders Arsenal agreed a £12m deal with Chelsea to sign midfielder Jorginho.

The 31-year-old, who was in the final six months of his contract at Stamford Bridge, will join the Gunners on a 1.5 years deal, with the option of a further year.

Mikel Arteta's side turned their attention to the Italian after their two bids for Moises Caicedo were rejected by Brighton.

Jorginho scored 29 goals in 213 appearances for Chelsea after joining them from Napoli in 2018. He won the Champions League, Europa League, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup during his time at the Blues.
