Marc Cucurella finds out Jorginho is joining Arsenal mid-interview, he couldn't believe it

Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella was informed of teammate Jorginho’s impending transfer to Arsenal during an interview on Tuesday – and his reaction was priceless.

After failing in their attempts to sign Brighton's Moises Caicedo, the Gunners turned their attention to Brazilian midfielder Jorginho – a player Mikel Arteta has admired from afar.

The Brazilian midfielder will sign an 18-month contract with an option to extend for a further season, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, as he attempts to help Arsenal secure a historic Premier League title.

David Ornstein has already confirmed that Arsenal’s move for Jorginho will halt their pursuit of Caicedo.

He tweeted: "Arsenal advancing towards agreement to sign Jorginho from Chelsea. 31yo Italy midfielder now most likely #DeadlineDay recruit.

"Acceptance at #AFC that Brighton stance on Moises Caicedo means pursuit of 21yo Ecuadorian is over."
