He came as a temporary solution but proved to be much more than that. And that’s why Jorginho will stay at the Emirates for at least another year after signing a new contract until the summer of 2025. The Italian arrived at the Emirates on the last day of January last year for just over ten million euros as a temporary solution, as confirmed by the fact that he signed a contract for only 18 months at that time.Here to stay ❤️ pic.twitter.com/MSC8u6kmUt— Arsenal (@Arsenal) May 9, 2024 The sports sector of the London club set their sights on Brighton’s midfielder Moses Caicedo that winter, but quickly cooled off when they realized how much money they would have to pay and turned to Jorginho as a transitional solution. Chelsea “stole” Caicedo from them – considering how he’s currently performing, it’s hard for Arsenal fans to be upset about it – and practically gifted them Jorginho, considering the price. And for that, they are immensely grateful from North London.Arteta’s temper could make him miss the most important match of the seasonMeanwhile, Jorginho has already made 51 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions and has become an important member of Mikel Arteta’s team, as evidenced by the new contract signed for another season.“I’m really happy to stay, because it’s a privilege to be a part of this family. My family is happy, we are really well settled and there’s more to come! There was not much to discuss to be honest, because I feel really good here. 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 the reason why I’m staying. I want to win as much as I can, and enjoy the moment because that’s really important for me. If you are somewhere where you are not enjoying it, or you are not happy, then it’s difficult. So moving forward is trying to be happy and achieve as much as we can” said the 32-year-old Italian.’A newfound respect for Arteta at this stage’Mikel Arteta was thrilled to have the Italian international available for at least another year.”We’re delighted that Jorgi has signed a new contract with us. Jorgi is such an important part of our team, a role model with great leadership skills and a unique playing style ability which makes everybody better around him on the pitch. We’re very pleased that Jorgi and his family have committed with us and we’re all excited to continue this journey together” said the Spaniard.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUESemifinals – second legThursday22:00: (1.80) Atalanta (3.70) Olympique Marseille (5.00) /first leg 1-1/22:00: (1.60) Leverkusen (4.10) Roma (6.25) /first leg 2-0/***odds are subject to change***
