What Oleksandr Zinchenko did to Jorginho after Arsenal completed £12m transfer on deadline day

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko was one of the first players to welcome Jorginho to the club after the former Chelsea midfielder swapped west London for north London on deadline day. The 31-year-old sealed a £12million transfer to become the Gunners' third January signing, joining Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior at the Emirates Stadium.

The Premier League leaders spent a total of £52million last month reinforcing Mikel Arteta's squad from a position of strength at the top of the Premier League. Arsenal will hope the new arrivals can bring experience, quality and depth with Europa League action set to return alongside the title race.

The Gunners are set to take on Everton this Saturday in Sean Dyche's first game since replacing Frank Lampard at Goodison Park. The fixture will be another tough test for Arsenal, but the players seem to be in good spirits after being impressed by Edu's capture of Jorginho from their London rivals.
