£110k-a-week player drops big hint on Arsenal future and makes Mikel Arteta claim
The performance of Arsenal’s standout player, Jorginho, has been impressive in the past few weeks, and he is now suggesting a potential direction for his future with the club.
Having transferred from Chelsea in January, the 31-year-old has consistently been in the starting lineup, especially in the absence of Thomas Partey.
Jorginho’s presence has added a sense of tranquility and control to the Arsenal midfield, making him a valuable acquisition. However, given that his contract is due to conclude at the end of the season, a decision regarding his future may be imminent.
Jorginho drops Arsenal transfer hint
Speaking in a press conference with the Italy National Team, Jorginho hinted that he may return to Serie A one day, but still has unfinished business with Arsenal.
“I’m very much in doubt, I would like to return but I don’t know when the right time would be,” he stated.
“I want to return yes, but I don’t know when, I feel I still have things to do at Arsenal.
“It always takes time when you change teams, but the first six months at Arsenal were not negative, on the contrary.”
“Obviously, it takes time to understand the mechanisms better, Arteta gives you a billion pieces of information but I’m very happy there.”
Jorginho is useful for Arteta
The player earning £110,000 per week is among the most seasoned members of the squad, boasting a wealth of experience and a history of winning major trophies both at the club and international levels.
In light of Kai Havertz facing challenges in filling Granit Xhaka’s midfield role, Jorginho has proven especially valuable recently by allowing Declan Rice to take on a more advanced position.
Despite a significant error in the North London Derby earlier in the season, Jorginho’s stellar form has endeared him to fans, elucidating Arteta’s preference for him.
As a vocal leader on the field, the veteran contributes to maintaining intelligent passing, aiding Arsenal in effective possession play.
Even with the club’s intention to secure a new midfielder in January, with potential links to Andre from Fluminense and Joao Neves from Benfica, Jorginho remains a highly beneficial asset to the squad if offered a new contract.
