Jorginho Extends His Stay At Arsenal

Arsenal’s midfielder, Jorginho, has agreed to a contract extension believed to be for one year, as he aims to help the Gunners secure trophies.

Having arrived from London rivals Chelsea on an 18-month deal in January 2023, the Italian midfielder has quickly established himself as a crucial player in Mikel Arteta’s squad, which is currently in contention for the Premier League title.

Jorginho has featured in 35 matches in all competitions this season and netted his sole goal during a Champions League victory against Lens.

Arsenal currently lead the Premier League standings with only two matches remaining, holding a one-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

Jorginho, who has won the Champions League, Europa League, and European Championship, wants to add to his haul.

Asked about his hopes for the future after agreeing on a new deal, he said: “Win as much as I can, enjoy the moment because that’s important for me.

“Because if you are somewhere where you are not enjoying it, or you are not happy, then it’s difficult. So moving forward is trying to be here, happy, and achieving as much as we can.”

Arteta said he was delighted Jorginho had signed a new contract.

“Jorgi is such an important part of our team, a role model with great leadership skills and a unique playing style ability which makes everybody better around him on the pitch,” he said.

Arsenal will play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday and then host Everton at home on the final day of the season on May 19th.
