Jorginho has signed a new deal with Arsenal, reaffirming his commitment while expressing confidence in the club's title ambitions.

Italian international Jorginho has committed his future to Arsenal by signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until June 2025. 

The midfielder, who originally joined the Gunners from Chelsea in January 2023, has quickly become a cornerstone of the team, surpassing the 50-appearance mark in less than two seasons.

Since arriving at the Emirates Stadium, Jorginho's influence on and off the pitch has been palpable.

In a passionate statement, Jorginho expressed his enthusiasm for the current campaign and the team's potential.

 “I’d say that we are enjoying it because it’s a beautiful journey. It’s a special moment, a special thing we’ve been doing, and I think we need to push and enjoy the moment, every single day. To be where we are, we worked hard. So much! We did so much and we need to be proud of what we’ve been doing. We need to trust what we’re doing and believe it," he said in an interview with Arsenal portal.

Beginning his professional journey at Hellas Verona in Italy, he later made significant contributions at Napoli before moving to Chelsea, where he won multiple major titles including the Champions League. 

His international career with Italy has also been distinguished, highlighted by winning Euro 2020 and being named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year.

Arsenal's Sporting Director, Edu, and manager Mikel Arteta both praised Jorginho’s professionalism and impact. 

Edu remarked, "We’re very happy to have Jorgi sign a contract extension with us. He represents what we stand for here at Arsenal with his professionalism and success."

 Similarly, Arteta emphasized, "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.”
