Jorginho admits Mikel Arteta reminds him of ex-Chelsea boss after Tottenham taunt

His arrival was greeted with a mixed response from the Arsenal fanbase, but Jorginho's vital contribution to the late winner against Aston Villa last Saturday has helped him settle.

The 31-year-old Champions League winner has since spoken about life under Arsenal manager Arteta and admitted he has spotted some similarities between the Spaniard and ex-Chelsea and Napoli boss Sarri.
