It would not be the first time that the two clubs have swapped players with the likes of Olivier Giroud, Willian and Cesc Fabregas all having played for both clubs in recent history. @Osian88 was not happy with the news and posted: "Nahh man." The Gunners are looking at alternative options to Caicedo and are interested in a move for Jorginho. @the_Lawrenz offered a different opinion in favour of selling Jorginho and posted: "Let him go!" However, a deal is not yet at an advanced stage, with the 31-year-old's contract running out at the end of the season. Arsenal are targeting a shock move to sign Chelsea midfielder Jorginho before the January transfer window slams shut.

The Gunners' boss has already expressed his desire to add to his midfield options this month following injuries sustained by Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny.

As quoted by TuttoMercatoWeb, Joao Santos said: “Jorginho is expiring on June 30, we have a renewal offer and we’ll give priority to Chelsea. Despite an inconsistent first season, he has gone on to become a key player for the West London outfit since. A number of other clubs have been credited with an interest in his services included Spanish giants Jorginho has been with the Blues since a 2018 switch from Italian giants Napoli.

ARSENALare interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, according to reports.Mikel Arteta is on the search for a midfielder with Brighton so far.

[Arsenal](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/team/247808/arsenal/) are also preparing another offer for Caicedo in the region of £70m with £5m worth of add-ons. Brighton could be open to selling before the end of the transfer window but are holding out for £80m. [Caicedo](https://www.thesun.ie/who/moises-caicedo/) has been told to [stay away from training](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/10130158/moises-caicedo-arsenal-brighton-training/) until after the deadline passes and was excluded from [Brighton's FA Cup win over Liverpool](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/10136180/brighton-liverpool-match-report-fa-cup-mitoma/) at the weekend. [Caicedo after reportedly seeing a £70million bid rejected](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/10138283/arsenal-moises-caicedo-transfer-bid-brighton-de-zerbi/) for the Ecuadorian. Arsenal have several targets in mind and are determined to sign a midfielder before the transfer window closes at 11pm tomorrow. Arsenal could sign Jorginho as an alternative and are looking to take advantage of the fact he is out of contract in the summer.

Arsenal are considering making a late bid for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho to boost their Premier League title hopes - almost 10 years after they first tried ...

Normally, Chelsea would be unwilling to sell a player to Arsenal because of their rivalry - but there is not much of a battle between the two clubs this season. If there was ever a time for Jorginho to join Arsenal, it is now. And in the end it was decided that I remain here. Rumours suggested the Blues were willing to let him leave Stamford Bridge and a move to Arsenal was even being considered. I am excited to play in such an intense league for a team that gives everything to play and win." [considering a late swoop](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-chelsea-jorginho-caicedo-29090073) to sign the Italy international, 31, after failing to agree a transfer fee for [Brighton](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/brighton-and-hove-albion-fc) midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Blues are rebuilding a new squad made up of young, promising talent - with Jorginho tipped to leave sooner rather than later. He has also featured in three [FA Cup](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/fa-cup) finals and two Carabao Cup finals. Chelsea took advantage by snapping up the 26-year-old - a move that proved to be one of the best transfers in their recent history. A move to Emirates did not seem on the cards for Jorginho a few days ago, but Arsenal have actually been linked with the midfielder before. Speculation was quashed when Jorginho signed a new contract with Napoli in December 2015, but Wenger remained interested in him. In the match against Parma there were scouts from teams like Arsenal and Chelsea.
