There had been question marks over how the Brazil-born star would acclimatise to the English game and he has answered many of his critics over the years.
But a switch to Arsenal came as quite a shock, despite entering the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Mikel Arteta made a move for the Italy international in the dying hours of the transfer window in January after failing to sign Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice.The Gunners snapped him up for £12million from their London rivals and adds competition to a midfield that has the likes of Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka.But within moments of coming on, the Toffees took the lead through James Tarkowski from a corner and held on to claim a win in Sean Dyche’s first game in charge.
However, Arteta is expected to make another attempt to sign Caicedo and Rice in the summer transfer window this year which could push Jorginho down the pecking order.“Maybe they don’t have experience, maybe they are too young, maybe he’s not that well known or whatever.“This is football.. Unfortunately you don’t always get it right but we put all the work and intention to make it work. I am confident that this one [Jorginho] will be good.”New UK customers only.
