DBasia.news – Jorginho came to public attention in the transfer market last winter after moving from Chelsea to Arsenal. He shared stories about the process of his move.
Jorginho’s move to Arsenal was a big surprise in the transfer market last winter. There are no rumors accompanying this maneuver.
Arsenal have been linked more with Moises Caicedo ahead of the closing of the transfer market. In addition, the rivalry between fellow London clubs also made it difficult for this transfer to become a reality.
However, these facts did not affect Jorginho’s move. Negotiations even lasted relatively short.
“Arteta was one of the reasons (for my move). He called me and everything was very fast, we made a deal in less than 48 hours,” Jorginho told DAZN.
“I have spoken to Chelsea and I know I am no longer part of their plans. I want to move forward in my career and the Arsenal project suits me.”
Jorginho’s decision to move to Arsenal was not a betrayal. He realized that he had begun to lose his place in Chelsea’s main squad since the arrival of Graham Potter.
Moving to Arsenal is the best way to save his career. Apart from that, he is also interested in the development of the Gunners under Arteta.
“This is a young team that plays good football and fits my characteristics. I considered every scenario and made my decision,” he added.
“Sometimes you have to accept when you quit a project and it’s all over.”
Jorginho’s presence is really needed by Arsenal. The former Napoli player’s experience will be of use to his new team-mates as they face the heat of the title race.
