Arsenal are set to complete their January business with a £12 million deal for Jorginho.

If Xhaka or Odegaard fell to a lengthy injury, then that could cost Arsenal the points that make all the difference in the race. USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner has shown solidity as a shot-stopper and growth with the ball at his feet, but the drop-off in Arsenal's possession play would be pronounced if he had to step in for Aaron Ramsdale over a run of games. An option both deeper and as one of the two eights, the young Belgian has rather lost Arteta's trust after a bright start to his career when he joined from Anderlecht last season. No timescale was put on his recovery, but he is expected to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the season. Jorginho may well prove to be a better fit at dictating play from deep than the Egyptian, he lacks the burst of pace of Partey to break the press as easily with ball carrying but there are few more experienced at building attacks from the base of midfield. Instead of a youthful injection, Arsenal have pivoted to make the sort of moves that a title contender makes. Make sure to tune in for coverage of the biggest games, stories, transfer news with Fabrizio Romano, and everything else going on in the world's most popular sport. Similarly, on the left side of defense, Gabriel has featured in some capacity during all but one of Arsenal's games this season (he has not missed a Premier League start since September 2021), Kiwior should allow him to at least rest up in the Europa League. Another body in central midfield would have been nice to have, but there were many around the club who expected to keep their powder dry for the summer when they still intend to sign Declan Rice, a player who They still have to face City twice; Pep Guardiola's side could wipe that lead away with the sort of imperious run that they have so often delivered in the second half of the season. And yet, this is a club that understands where they find themselves in and perhaps how hard it will be to get back there. At the start of January, Arsenal wanted to secure a top-tier young winger and, if possible, a left-sided center back.

From Brazil to Arsenal, via Italy and Chelsea - we profile our new central midfielder.

Jorginho continued to feature regularly for Napoli - and the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as manager in June 2015 would prove vital to his future success. Under the guidance of their new boss, Napoli finished the 2015/16 season as runners-up in Serie A, with Jorginho flourishing. Jorginho signed for Napoli on a co-ownership deal in January 2014 and quickly became an important part of the team. They lost in the semi-final to Varese, but regrouped and secured promotion to Serie A the following season, with Jorginho featuring in 41 of 42 league matches. He scored seven times in the first half of the season, five of those from the penalty spot, with his performances attracting attention from across Italy. After impressing at a football camp, he took the first step to realise his aim when signing for Hellas Verona at the age of 15.
