Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has raved about his Gunners teammate Jorginho.
Declan Rice, who joined Arsenal from London and Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window, has said that he cannot believe just how good Jorginho is.
Declan Rice praises Arsenal teammate Jorginho
The England international midfielder has said that Jorginho is a very good and intelligent player who knows the best positions to take on the pitch and always picks the right pass.
Rice, who can also operate as a defender, has said that Jorginho is very good in training and that he tries to learn from him.
Rice said about Jorginho on Channel 4, as transcribed by Football.London: “The one who has surprised me so much, not surprise me because I knew he was such a good player anyway but playing with him every day in training and seeing how he is, because he’s not the biggest is Jorginho.
“His brain, the way it works as a holding midfielder, I’ve been trying to pick up little things off him. He’s always in position and he always knows when to pass.
“He always creates time for himself. He’s an outstanding trainer and I’ve been trying to take in little bits of his game as well.”
Jorginho is an important player for Arsenal
In our view, Jorginho is a very good and important player for Arsenal.
Although the £110,000-a-week (Spotrac) Italian star is not guaranteed a place in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup, he has a wealth of experience and is very good technically.
And he has been successful as well.
Jorginho, who moved to Arsenal from Chelsea in January 2023, has won the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League with Chelsea and played his role in Italy winning the Euro 2020 finals.
The 31-year-old has made 160 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The Italian midfielder has scored 21 goals and given six assists in those matches.
