As Arteta makes a definite choice regarding the Italy international, Jorginho moves up the Arsenal hierarchy.
At Arsenal, Italy international Jorginho is moving up Mikel Arteta’s hierarchy and is selected particularly when the Spanish coach wishes to “exert more control.”
Jorginho, an Italian midfielder, is thirty-two years old. Football London has examined his recent performances with the Gunners and found that he has been “largely outstanding” in recent weeks.
When Arteta has desired to exercise greater influence over the game, the Italian has established himself as a dependable and excellent alternative at the base of the Arsenal midfield. This has been especially true in pivotal moments like this month’s victory over Liverpool, according to Kaya Kaynak.
Jorginho has made 16 Premier League appearances for the Gunners this season. He played 90 minutes in Saturday’s 4-1 triumph over Newcastle.
As Jorginho grows in importance within the Arsenal team, Football London observes that Thomas Partey no longer appears unstoppable as the Ghanaian international recovers from an injury.
Jorginho is commended for his leadership and skill, even though the former star of Napoli has had 0.76 progressive carries this season as opposed to 1.23 for Partey in 2022–2023. Nonetheless, this season, the Italian’s pass completion percentage is 89.7%, compared to his teammate’s 87.2% from the previous campaign.
The Gunners have the option to extend Jorginho’s contract until 2025, but it expires in June.
