Jorginho could join Arsenal from Chelsea
Exciting for the Gunners
In our view, Jorginho would be a very good signing for Arsenal on January transfer deadline day.
Yes, he is 31 now, but the Chelsea midfielder is a very good player who can make an immediate impact at Arsenal.
The Gunners are aiming to win the Premier League title this season, and they need a midfielder who can make an immediate impact in manager Mikel Arteta’s side.
Jorginho has a winning mentality as well.
The Italian has won the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League with Chelsea and the Euro 2020 finals with Italy.
Now, of course, Jorginho is 31 now, so it is not as if he is going to be a long-term signing for Arsenal.
However, for the next few months, the Italian is perfect for the Gunners.
Jorginho knows the Premier League, has been successful at Chelsea, and is willing to move to Arsenal.
