- Arsenal has made a late move for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho ahead of the deadline day
- Arsenal needs a new midfielder to strengthen up their squad ahead of the Premier League title race
- Arsenal are also interested in bringing on board Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans
In order to meet their ongoing need for a new central midfielder, Arsenal will reportedly make one final push for Jorginho of Chelsea and Youri Tielemans of Leicester City before the transfer window closes.
One of Leicester’s best players, Tielemans has started 18 of the team’s 20 Premier League games this season and appeared in all 20. He has contributed three goals and an assist.
Jorginho, who is in his sixth season at Stamford Bridge, is still a crucial member of the Chelsea team. He has made 15 league starts this season, including two as captain.

However, both players’ contracts are about to expire and they will both be eligible for free transfers at the end of the current season. As a result, both teams might be open to accepting a substantially lower price for very important assets.
Arsenal are reportedly no longer interested in pursuing Moises Caicedo, a 21-year-old star player for Brighton and Hove Albion, and are instead considering Jorginho as a suitable replacement, according to Football London.
According to the report, Chelsea is willing to allow the Italian international leave because they believe Enzo Fernandez from Benfica will replace him soon.
Arsenal will make another attempt to sign Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad and Caicedo, according to Football London, but both players are viewed as improbable choices.
According to 90min, Leicester would be more willing to let Tielemans leave if they weren’t involved in a relegation fight, but as things stand, they would need a “big” offer to put a transfer fee ahead of their chances of staying in the Premier League.
