The Italian international expressed his contentment with the decision, highlighting the club’s appreciation of his contributions as a key factor in his commitment. “I’m really happy to stay. There was not much to discuss because I feel really good here,” Jorginho stated.
Contract Negotiations and Club Commitment
The contract extension follows a series of discussions between Jorginho’s representatives and Arsenal, indicating a mutual interest in continuing their association. The player emphasized the significance of the club’s desire to retain him. “Just to know that they appreciate me and want me to stay longer as well, it’s a big thing for me. I feel that I have more to do, so that’s why I’m staying,” he explained.
Background and Impact at Arsenal
Jorginho, known for his tactical intelligence and proficiency in controlling the tempo of the game, joined Arsenal from Chelsea. Since his arrival, he has been pivotal in midfield, contributing both defensively and in setting up play. His extension is seen as a crucial move by Arsenal, especially after manager Mikel Arteta publicly praised Jorginho’s influence on the team during the contract extension talks earlier in February.
