Arsenal want to reinforce their midfield. Arteta’s side offered Brighton 70 million euros for Moises Caicedo but the deal did not go through. As a result, the Gunners are targeting Chelsea’s Jorginho, who is on Barcelona’s radar.
Arsenal could win the Premier League this season. Mikel Arteta’s side are top of the Enghlish league on 50 points and five points behind Manchester City.
The board want to improve their squad for next season. For this reason, Arsenal outbid Chelsea for Moises Caicedo and offered 62 million euros for him.
Brighton, where Caicedo plays, have yet to comment on the matter and Arteta’s team want to reinforce their midfield as soon as possible. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are targeting Jorginho as his contract with Chelsea expires in June. Moreover, the midfielder is considering departure because he does not want to renew his contract with Potter’s side.
Barcelona are one of the teams interested in signing the Italian player as they are looking for a replacement for Sergio Busquets. Meanwhile, Chelsea want to sell their player in the January transfer window because Potter is not counting on him. However, the club will ask for a large sum of money to let him leave.
Nevertheless, Arsenal could wait to sign him in January when Jorginho is a free agent.
