Chelsea star Jorginho has joined Premier League rivals Arsenal on transfer deadline day. The Italian midfielder spent four and the half years in Stamford Bridge winning the UCL and other titles.
Arsenal were unable to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and opted for Jorginho.
Chelsea released an official statement on their website to announce the departure of Jorginho.
"Jorginho has completed a permanent transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal. The Italian international leaves Stamford Bridge after four-and-a-half years, during which he helped us win the Champions League, the Europa League, the Club World Cup, and the Super Cup. Jorginho also acted as our vice-captain for most of his time at the club.
"Jorginho established himself in the Italy team while at Chelsea. He started every game at the delayed Euro 2020 tournament when they lifted the title with victory over England at Wembley. That success, coupled with our own continental triumph a few weeks prior, contributed to him earning personal accolades in the form of the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year and a third-placed finish in the Ballon d’Or voting.
"A friendly and funny guy off the pitch, Jorginho leaves Chelsea with 213 appearances to his name and four winners’ medals, none more precious than the 2021 Champions League success in which he played a major part.
"Good luck in the future, Jorgi!"
