£12M Solid Deal: Jorginho Moves from Arsenal to Chelsea

After failing to reach an agreement with Brighton about Moises Caicedo, Arsenal resorted to Jorginho. The Seagulls rejected the Gunners’ first two offers for the 21-year-old, with the most recent offering £70 million. Significant tractions were reported by popular sites such as strafe after the News of Jorginho moving from Arsenal to Chelsea surfaced.

Jorginho Transfer from Arsenal to Chelsea for £12M Deal

The midfielder chose to represent the Azzurri at the international level despite having migrated to Italy at the age of 15 after being born in Brazil.

Due to Brighton’s position, Arsenal was obliged to search elsewhere for protection for Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka. However, they will still want Declan Rice of West Ham in the summer. Albert Sambi Lokonga, who has signed up with Crystal Palace on loan, is not well-respected.

Partey suffered a minor injury in the FA Cup fourth-round loss to Manchester City, while Arsenal announced on Tuesday that Elneny had undergone surgery for a “severe” injury. He might not play once more this year. Fantasy football bettors across the world expressed their concerns and surprise when the News was disclosed at a press conference.

After surrendering Mohamed Elneny to a knee injury, the Premier League’s top team tried to bolster their midfield and pushed for Jorginho after failing in two Caicedo offers. Just then three hours before the deadline, the Italy international, whose agreement was slated to expire at the end of the season, was officially announced as an Arsenal player after swift negotiations with Chelsea. The price is a promised £10 million plus further payments.

The 31-year-old midfielder had a medical on Tuesday morning, and the Gunners have now announced his arrival. Jorginho secured an 18-month deal that will keep him at Arsenal through the summer of 2024, though they do have the choice to extend it by another year. The Italian international transfer will cost the Premier League leaders an initial £10 million, with a further £2 million to be paid in add-ons down the road.

What Was Said

Jorginho was described as the epitome of composure from the penalty spot by Chelsea in a statement, stating that he was a leader on and off the field from the minute he came to west London from Napoli. Jorginho also used his signature hop-skip technique.

Jorginho, who is a nice and humorous person off the field, departs from Chelsea with 213 matches under his belt and four championship trophies, the most priceless of which is the 2021 Champions League victory in which he had a significant role. Jorgi, best of luck in the future!

Before Tuesday night’s transfer deadline, Arsenal was keen to sign a midfielder, and Mikel Arteta is well-known to be a long-time fan of Jorginho. But given the previous agreements for players like Willian and David Luiz, Gunners supporters are naturally hesitant about making a deal with Chelsea for aging players.

Jorginho is hardly the marquee acquisition that supporters had hoped for, and he definitely doesn’t fit the type of a player that Arsenal looks to recruit these days. But because of his wealth of expertise, he will give Thomas Partey the much-needed protection over the second part of the year.

Few will criticize the decision to bring him onto the team at such a pivotal point in the season if he helps the Gunners win the Premier League in May.

He is expected to be Arsenal’s third acquisition of the January transfer window after the club acquired Belgium striker Leandro Trossard from Brighton for £21 million and Poland defender Jakub Kiwior from Spezia for £17.6 million each.

With a game left to play, Arsenal presently leads Manchester City by five points at the top of the standings. They ranked first in their group and have advanced to the final 16 of the Europa League with 16 wins and one loss in 19 games.
