Arsenal completed the signing of Jorginho on deadline day as the Italian midfielder sealed a £12million switch from Chelsea. The Gunners identified the 31-year-old as an ideal addition to Mikel Arteta's midfield options after having two bids rejected for Brighton's Moises Caicedo.
Arteta had revealed how he tried signing Jorginho in the past and how excited he was to finally work with the Italy international. Jorginho's experience and qualities were seen as the perfect fit for the Gunners, who are hoping to maintain their Premier League title challenge.
The Italian midfielder was named as a substitute in the squad that faced Everton this afternoon and he made his debut appearance after coming on in the 59th minute at Goodison Park. Unfortunately for Jorginho, his introduction didn't quite go to plan as James Tarkowski rose above the Italian's new teammate Martin Odegaard just 60 seconds into his debut to nod home what proved to be the winner for the Toffees.
