It is only a matter of time until Jorginho is announced as an Arsenal player. The Gunners have agreed an 18-month permanent deal for the Italian with an option for a further year with the fee rising up to £12million, football.london understands.
The move has certainly created a response from the Arsenal fan base who are disappointed in missing out on Moises Caicedo. However, with the Premier League title challenge on, ensuring some immediate impact from additions was key hence why Leandro Trossard was brought in after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk.
Furthermore, looking deeper into the profile of Jorginho and it becomes very obvious why he is a player Mikel Arteta has always liked. The Gunners were keen on the then 28-year-old back in 2020 amid the transfer sagas surrounding both Houssem Aouar and the man who’d eventually join, Thomas Partey.
