So it came as a total shock when Arsenal sign Jorginho from one of their greatest rivals. While Jorginho may not be in his prime, his sheer experience is invaluable in any team he goes in and with a team as young as Arsenal's, they would find Jorginho much more useful than most people think.
And let's not under-rate him as a player. His passing and chance creation were a major reason as to why Chelsea did so well in the 2021-2022 season of the Premier League as well as win the Champions League Final against Man City. He is a beast of a player in Central-Midfield so it is surprising that Arsenal sign Jorginho for the price of 10 million pounds plus 2 million in add-ons.
Indeed a player of his calibre and consistency despite his age should be sold for no less than £30 million if the market prices today are any indication but either Chelsea have deemed Jorginho not to be worth it or the negotiators at Arsenal are something out of Wolf of Wall Street.
Jorginho will have his first medical check-up for Arsenal today. His contract will last till 2024 with an option to extend 1 more year. He had agreed to the terms since yesterday and Arsenal will release an official club statement any time now.
