Arsenal has done an excellent job in recent years of signing players to new contracts.

Not long ago, this was one of the Gunners’ flaws. Contracts for top players were frequently extended into the final year.

However, Arsenal has transformed this vulnerability into a strength, with several great players committing to the Emirates Stadium in recent years.

On Thursday, Arsenal revealed that another player, Jorginho, had signed a contract extension at N5.

According to The Guardian, the Italy international turned down a potential return to Serie A to stay at Arsenal until 2025.

Jorginho took to Instagram to celebrate his contract extension, and several supporters, including Gabriel Magalhaes and Edu, praised him in the comments.

What has been reported about Jorginho’s contract renewal with Arsenal?

Jorginho joined Arsenal from Chelsea in January 2023 for a reported fee of about £12 million.

The 32-year-old has made 51 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions, 35 of which have come this season.

Jorginho’s performances were rewarded with a contract extension, which Mikel Arteta, Edu, and the player himself praised.

The Italy international told the Arsenal website: “It’s been incredibly fantastic, since I felt like I was part of something enormous right away.

“I felt engaged and in a good place. It is not usually the case, so when you experience anything like this, it is significant.

“I’m very delighted to stay since it’s an honor to be a member of this family. My family is pleased, we are really established, and there is more to come.”

Meanwhile, Arteta stated: “Jorgi is such a vital element of our squad, a role model with outstanding leadership abilities and a unique playing style that improves everyone around him on the pitch.

Edu continued, “We’re delighted to have Jorgi sign a contract extension with us. He exemplifies everything we stand for at Arsenal through his professionalism and accomplishment.

“I know everyone at the club will be thrilled that Jorgi will be staying with us, not just the players and coaches, but also the professionals behind the scenes.

“It’s great that Jorginho remains with us, as we continue building to be better and stronger.”
