Chelsea and Arsenal agree Jorginho fee – latest updates from deadline day

[ad_1]

Hello, and welcome to the final day of the January transfer window.

We could see the signing of the most expensive player in the Premier League today if Chelsea sign Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandes.

The previous record was set by Manchester City following the £100m signing of Jack Grealish in August 2021. But Chelsea owner Todd Bohle is desperate to bolster his underperforming squad and has put in a bid of more than £105m with controlling owner Bardad Egbali. And director of global talent and transfers Paul Winstanley is ready to strike a deal.

Elsewhere, Arsenal continue to search for a central midfielder with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo and Chelsea’s Jorginho trying to bolster their options in the Premier League title challenge.

Manchester City is preparing to allow Joao Cancelo to join Bayern Munich after a dispute with coach Pep Guardiola. Relations between Cancelo and Guardiola had been deteriorating for weeks and came to a head when the Portuguese full-back learned he would not start in City’s FA Cup victory over Arsenal on Friday night.

Manchester United are expected to have a quiet day but on transfer deadline day, you never know!

Other deals to look for include Jonjo Shelvey to Nottingham Forest, Cedric Soares and Sasa Lukic to Fulham. Southampton needs a new attacking option and is said to be keen on Rennes winger Kamal El Din Suleiman, but coach Nathan Jones on Monday spilled cold water on rumors linking striker Che Adams to Everton.

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has not ruled out signing a goalkeeper in the closing hours of the January transfer window after Dean Henderson was injured.

Sander Berge could be on his way out from Sheffield United after receiving interest from Premier League clubs.

Stay with us until 11pm when the window closes.
