The Italy international was due to be out of contract in the summer
Arsenal have completed the signing of Jorginho from Chelsea in a £12million deal.
The Premier League leaders had a bid accepted by their London rivals earlier on deadline day and the Italy midfielder has now penned a one-and-a-half-year deal.
Arsenal were keen to bolster their midfield this month and turned attention to the 31-year-old having been rebuffed by Brighton in their attempts to sign Moises Caicedo.
Mikel Arteta’s need for reinforcements was exacerbated by the injury sustained by Mohamed Elneny which is set to rule the Egypt international out for the rest of the season.
Chelsea, for their part, are willing to let the player go as they pursue their own interest in Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez.
