JOR THE ONE
Arsenal have turned their attention to Jorginho now the deal for Houssem Aouar appears to be over.
The Gunners move for the Lyon man was left in tatters today after failing to meet the club's valuation of the player.
Now it is rumoured that Jorginho is seen as a potential alternative with Chelsea keen to slim down their bloated squad.
Mikel Arteta is also believed to be a fan of the Italian midfielder and is desperate to bring him in, according to ESPN.

REJECTED
Chelsea have REJECTED a bid by Bayern Munich for Callum Hudson-Odoi, it is being reported tonight.
The deal would have seen CHO move to Bayern Munich on loan for rest of the season – with the German club having the option of a £70m transfer next summer.
Bayern's interest in the winger has been revived in recent weeks after a failed swoop last season.
The Chelsea board are believed to want a permanent deal this summer if they are to let him go, while Frank Lampard is believed to want to keep Hudson-Odoi at Stamford Bridge.

The midfielder has previously left London for a loan move to AC Milan and now appears to be repeating the act as Chelsea fail to sell him permanently.

GOOD EVENING, BLUES FANS
Chelsea were impressive as they romped home to a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League lunchtime game.
Ben Chilwell scored on his first Premier League start for the Blues before Kurt Zouma got his second of the season to make it 2-0.
Two late penalties by Jorginho added to the scoreline, but Tammy Abraham was left unhappy when he was refused the opportunity of taking the second one.
Callum Hudson-Odoi continues to be linked to Bayern Munich as reports say the German club are very interested.
But with only two days left in the window, the two clubs are unable to agree on terms with Chelsea only willing to let him go permanently.
Manager Frank Lampard reportedly wants the winger to stay.
