Heading into transfer deadline day for the January window very few would have had Jorginho down as one to watch. Chelsea were seemingly waiting for his contract to roll down meanwhile Italian finances made any payment for him unlikely from Serie A.
Arsenal stepped up to give the final knockings of an eventful window a fitting conclusion. For a club that has been so aligned with recruitment over 18 months Jorginho complimented that.
Although his age and mobility make him an outlier in the squad it fits with the bill of what Mikel Arteta wants. The Spaniard admires players of Jorginho's technical quality and footballing intelligence. Even on a short term deal it makes sense.
