Arsenal completed a deal to sign midfielder Jorginho from Chelsea on January transfer deadline day.
The Italian international joined the Gunners for a deal worth £10million in guaranteed fees with a further £2million in add-ons, football.london understands. His contract will be until the summer of 2024, with the club holding the option of an extra year - a move that Arsenal hero Alan Smith is a big fan of.
Speaking about Jorginho to football.london 's The Arsenal Way podcast, Smith said: "He's 31, it's an 18-month contract, he's a Champions League winner, European Championship winner for Italy and he's somebody that rarely gives the ball away. I know that athletically he's not somebody that's going to get up and down the pitch but I think positionally he's so clever, so cute and he's got that ability to play first-time passes through the lines so you could see him knocking it into Odegaard and co."
