Journalist Pete O’Rourke has stated that Arsenal’s acquisition of Jorginho from Chelsea in January was a “real good piece of business” for the club. The Gunners signed the experienced midfielder to help their push for a Premier League title, which they haven’t won since 2003/04. Jorginho was brought in on a £12 million deal and was given an 18-month contract with the option of a further year. O’Rourke believes that the Italian international brings not only experience, but also know-how to the Arsenal dressing room.
He has won the Champions League with Chelsea and the European Championships with Italy, and is already popular with some of the players.
Arsenal have certainly made a shrewd move by signing Italian midfielder Jorginho from their London rivals Chelsea in January. Journalist Pete O’Rourke has described the acquisition as a “real good piece of business” for the Gunners.
Jorginho was signed on a £12 million deal and given an 18-month contract with the option of a further year, and is seen as a key figure in Arsenal’s push for a first Premier League title since 2003/04. O’Rourke has suggested that the experienced midfielder’s transfer brings more to Arsenal than simply his considerable playing ability.
Having previously won the Champions League with Chelsea and then the European Championships with Italy, the midfielder is certainly no stranger to winning trophies and offers an invaluable insight into the campaign mentality. Furthermore, he already boasts popularity amongst some of his new team-mates, which is sure to help him settle into the club quickly.
Jorginho will bring experience and know-how to the Arsenal dressing room, making his move one that should pay off in the long run. With the costly acquisitions of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang only bringing limited success in the past, regardless of how the season eventually pans out, it’s clear that Arsenal’s capture of Jorginho could be the final piece of the puzzle.
