Jorginho is expected to sign an 18-month contract at the Emirates, with an option to extend for a further year.
Chelsea signed the midfielder from Napoli in 2018, in a deal worth up to £57m.
The 46-time Italian international signed a five-year contract upon arrival in London, but has failed to sign a contract extension with the Blues.
