Chelsea complete Enzo Fernandez signing on deadline day, Man Utd confirm Marcel Sabitzer loan

“A friendly and funny guy off the pitch, Jorginho leaves Chelsea with 213 appearances to his name and four winners’ medals, none more precious than the 2021 Champions League success in which he played a major part.

“Good luck in the future, Jorgi!”

Bournemouth have completed the signing of Ukraine international centre-back Illia Zabarnyi from Dinamo Kyiv.

The 20-year-old, who has already been capped 24 times by his country, has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the club and arrives on a reported £20m fee.

Marcel Sabitzer has landed in England, swiftly got through passport control, and has arrived at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground ahead of his loan move from Bayern Munich.

United have moved so quickly to sign the 28-year-old on loan following the injury to Christian Eriksen.

Latest from Miguel Delaney: Everton have turned to Andre Ayew late in the window to try and solve their scoring issues, and are in advanced talks about a deal.

The 33-year-old Ghanaian international was most recently at Al Sadd in Qatar, having previously had a respectable Premier League career at Swansea City and West Ham United.

The Independent has been told that Everton cast around in order to try and bring in a forward, with their issues exacerbated by the fact their budget is limited.

Fenerbahce’s Michu Batshuayi and even West Ham United’s Michail Antonio had been names put forward but many deals were impossible, which has left the club looking to Ayew.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed the signing of Jorginho from Chelsea as a boost to their Premier League title hopes after praising the midfielder’s hunger to win at the club.

The Premier League leaders have confirmed the £12m transfer of the experienced Italian international as the Gunners added their second signing of the January window.

Jorginho arrived at Chelsea in 2018 and helped the Blues in the Champions League in 2021, but has been allowed to move on with the Stamford Bridge club looking to complete the record transfer of Enzo Fernandez.

Spare a thought for the City Ground fax machine - it’s been a busy season of incoming and outgoings by the River Trent since Nottingham Forest’s return to the English top tier, and there could yet be one more new face in through the door before January concludes.

Dean Henderson could miss more than a month of action with a muscular issue, and Forest are said to be actively seeking some goalkeeping cover. While Steve Cooper played coy yesterday, PSG pair Keylor Navas and Sergio Rico have both been connected with the club.

Atletico Madrid are considering a loan move for Tottenham Hotspur‘s Matt Doherty, with Diego Simeone having instructed the hierarchy to bring in a right-back this window.

The Spanish club have already failed in two bids for Olympique Marseille’s Jonathan Clauss, but there is a good relationship with Spurs after recent moves and the Irish international has been broached as an option. The 31-year-old has been in and out of Antonio Conte‘s side this season but is valued by the Italian, and there is a feeling his strengths could fit what Simeone wants.

Talks are underway after Atletico raised the prospect of a move and Doherty is in Madrid to discuss the move. There is not expected to be any option or obligation for the loan to become permanent.

Mikel Arteta on Jorginho: “Jorginho is a midfield player with intelligence, deep leadership skills and a huge amount of Premier League and international experience. Jorginho has won in his career, but he still has the hunger and huge willingness to contribute here.”

Huge one!

Arsenal have completed the signing of Jorginho from Chelsea.

The midfielder, who has won 46 caps for Italy, has joined the Premier League leaders for a fee believed to be in the region of £12 million.

The 31-year-old arrived at Chelsea from Napoli in 2018 and helped the club to Champions League triumph in 2021.

The Euro 2020 winner’s contract was due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
