Chelsea Bid Farewell to Arsenal Bound Midfielder Jorginho! The Italian has moved across to the red side of London.
Arsenal have signed midfield general Jorginho from Chelsea. The Blues have bid farewell to a player that has served them greatly in the past.
The Brazil-born midfielder joined Chelsea in 2018, when manager Maurizio Sarri left Napoli alongside him. He will play under Mikel Arteta as the Gunners look to win the Premier League title.
At Chelsea, Jorginho won the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Supercup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
“The Italian international leaves Stamford Bridge after four-and-a-half years, during which he helped us win the Champions League, the Europa League, the Club World Cup, and the Super Cup. Jorginho also acted as our vice-captain for most of his time at the club.” The club spoke.
“Many of Jorginho’s best performances came in European competition. He starred in Baku at the end of his first season when we thumped Arsenal 4-1, and the midfielder played a pivotal role en route to Champions League glory in 2021, starting all but one of our knockout games as we conceded just twice and shut out Manchester City in the Porto final.
“A leader on and off the pitch from the moment he arrived in west London from Napoli, Jorginho was coolness personified from the penalty spot with his trademark hop-skip technique. Perhaps his most iconic conversion was the injury-time winner at home to Leeds last season, his second of the game sparking pandemonium at the Bridge.
“In all, 27 of Jorginho’s 29 goals for Chelsea arrived from 12 yards, with the other two coming in derby victories at Craven Cottage and the Emirates.”
He has joined The Gunners on a 1 & ½ contract. Chelsea Bid Farewell to Arsenal Bound Midfielder Jorginho!
