Reports in England claim Arsenal are weighing up a bid for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho.

Mikel Arteta has so far struggled to get either Houssem Aouar or Thomas Partey through the door.

The Spaniard sees a defensive midfielder as the key cog in finally getting to play 4-3-3.

Jorginho appears to be down the pecking order at Chelsea, with Frank Lampard preferring N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic in midfield.

The 28-year-old was linked with the exit door at Stamford Bridge earlier in the summer as speculation suggested he could complete a switch to Juventus.

That move became more unlikely following the sacking of Maurizio Sarri, but he could have a new option on the table amid Arsenal’s interest.

And he could follow the Blue exodus to the Emirates, much like David Luiz and Willian.

Sky Sports claim the Italian international is on the list of top Arsenal targets.
