Raheem Sterling Shocked by Arsenal’s Surprising Signing of Experienced 46-Cap International
On Instagram, Raheem Sterling referred to Jorginho as a “big baller” following his transfer from Chelsea to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
At the beginning of transfer deadline day, Chelsea’s pursuit of Enzo Fernandez and Arsenal’s need for a defensive midfielder dominated the conversation.
Even though it was a distant shot, Edu hoped to sign Moises Caicedo or acquire another defensive-minded player.
In reality, few anticipated that Italy’s Euro 2020 champion Jorginho would make the short trek across London.
However, this is the beauty of transfer deadline day, as the 31-year-old secured a £12 million deal with the Premier League leaders (BBC Sport).
Jorginho reacted to his transfer on Instagram, with numerous players complimenting the 46-cap international, including England star Raheem Sterling, who called him a “great baller” and added “best of luck brother.”

JORGINHO WILL BE MANAGED BY ARTETA.
Yes, Arsenal’s inability to sign Caicedo or a player better suited to Thomas Partey’s playing style will be frustrating.
Jorginho will succeed under Mikel Arteta’s system since he is suited to a possession-based team and is an upgrade to the club’s bench.
Jorginho’s ability to control the tempo of a game, maintain composure, and possess a championship mentality might be essential for the Gunners, as he could go from battling in the middle of the table at Chelsea to possibly winning the championship.
JORGINHO CONFIRMED MIKEL ARTETA’S ROLE IN ARSENAL TRANSFER.
It appears that the attraction is mutual, as Jorginho himself claimed after his £12 million transfer to Arsenal that Mikel Arteta was the primary reason for him joining Chelsea’s London rivals.
“He [Mikel Arteta] was a big influence because I know that he tried a few times to get me before and it didn’t happen due to other reasons, not because of my wishes. So, of course, he had a big influence”, Jorginho confirmed about his Arteta’s role behind his Arsenal move, as quoted by GOAL journalist Charles Watts.
