Arsenal are considering a move for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho with the North London giants sensing a potential opportunity to sign the Italian who is into the final six months of his contract.
Jorginho’s future at Stamford Bridge has continued to be the subject of much speculation ahead of the summer when his current terms with Chelsea are due to expire with no headway made on signing a new deal.
According to a report from Sky Sports, it is claimed that the Premier League table toppers Arsenal are exploring a deadline day swoop for the Chelsea maestro as Mikel Arteta seeks reinforcements for his midfield ranks.
The Gunners are currently light on cover in the centre of the park with Mohamed Elneny on the sidelines with an injury and this has forced them to scout the market for a fresh pair of legs with Jorginho’s name on their shopping list.
Any approach from the Arsenal camp for Jorginho could depend on whether Chelsea sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica with the Blues making a last ditch effort to bring their long-standing target to Stamford Bridge.
