Telegraph: How Jorginho could have been lining up for Arsenal today and not Chelsea | OneFootball

Chelsea meet Arsenal today once again in the Premier League, and as always, we expect an emphatic and dramatic match up.

The Blues are going into the game in solid form after an impressive pre-season and season opener against Crystal Palace last week, whilst Arsenal are certainly far from enjoying the same kind of form.

But this is a London derby and we know that anything can happen in these games.

One player who is expected to play a major part for Chelsea as he so often does, is midfielder Jorginho.

The double European Champions (triple if you count the Super Cup) is highly likely to be starting for Chelsea today, but as reported by The Telegraph, things could have been very different for him.

They say that Arsenal and Chelsea were very close to agreeing a deal that would have seen Jorginho switch from blue to red last summer, but they were around £10m apart in valuation.

That’s how close they got to Jorginho lining up for Arsenal today!
