Jorginho has now signed for Arsenal But he beat the Gunners in the Europa League final with Chelsea Jorginho completed a £12million transfer to Arsenal on deadline day, signing a one-and-a-half year deal at the club. The Blues were 4-1 winners against the Gunners in Baku, with Jorginho playing the full 90 minutes in their emphatic victory. In their goodbye message to Jorginho, Chelsea made a slight dig at Arsenal when they said: "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." Not only did he win the Champions League and Europa League, but Jorginho also lifted the Super Cup and Club World Cup at Chelsea. He also helped guide Italy to Euro 2020 glory during his time in west London. Jorginho won the title in his first season with the Blues He also went on to win the Champions League at Chelsea Only two of his 29 goals for the Blues did not come from the penalty spot, and one of those was actually scored at the Emirates in the 2019/20 season. Jorginho acquired a lot of silverware at Chelsea and could add to his honours at his new club this season. He joins an Arsenal side who currently sit top of the Premier League table, five points clear of reigning champions Manchester City. The Blues were quick to sign his replacement though, having completed the £106.8million signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica, a British transfer record. Chelsea and Arsenal next meet at the end of April, by which time Jorginho may be close to winning the title with the Gunners. Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from talkSPORT.
