Jorginho has become a key player for Arsenal in the last few weeks, and his experience shines through in matches he plays for the Gunners.
The Brazilian-Italian has been a brilliant leader in the team on and off the pitch in 2024, and Mikel Arteta is very happy with his midfield signing.
The midfielder’s move from Chelsea at the start of last year was not warmly received by all of the Gunners supporters, but Jorginho is now proving why he deserves a contract extension.
He was again in fine form in the game against Newcastle United, and when asked about his experienced star, Arteta heaped praise on the former Chelsea man, insisting he is the perfect fit for certain matches.
Arteta said, as quoted by Mirror Football:
“He’s a top player.
“Especially when opponents have certain behaviours and set-ups. The way I imagined the game, he was going to have a big impact.”

Good but his contract should not be extended. He’ll be 34 next seasin and has no legs against highly mobile midfield. He needs a week recovery time after each game and on 150k a week. If he signs, he’ll be spending a lot if time on the bench at a cost of 150k a week, not good.
He should go back to Itsly where the game is slow.
