Arteta Expresses Interest To Snatch Chelsea Midfielder As Caicedo Deal Stalls

Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has turned his attention to Chelsea’s Jorginho in his search for a new central midfielder.

According to SportsMail, a deal is still a long way off, but preparations for the transfer have begun.

It could be finished before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

This comes as Arsenal spent the entire day Monday debating whether to make a third offer for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo, fearing that doing so would jeopardize their relationship with Brighton.

Arsenal executives were debating whether to increase their previous bid of up to £70 million.

Arsenal, on the other hand, has begun to consider alternatives, with Chelsea midfielder Jorginho emerging as their preferred option.
