Jorginho first words after Arsenal seal deadline day transfer from Chelsea

Jorginho has broken his silence after being confirmed as Arsenal's third signing of the January transfer window.

The Gunners had added Belgian attacker Leandro Trossard from Brighton, as well as Polish centre-back Jakub Kiwior from Serie A outfit Spezia earlier this month as Mikel Arteta looks to end the club's 19-year league title drought. The Spaniard had made it no secret of his desire to bolster options in the midfield but missed out on primary target Moises Caicedo, who Brighton refused to sell.

However, the north Londoners swiftly moved onto other targets, signing Jorginho from Chelsea for a deal worth £10million in guaranteed fees with a further £2million in add-ons, football.london understands. The Italian's contract will be until the summer of 2024, with the club holding the option of an extra year.
