Jorginho, who currently has two games on 18 appearances with Chelsea FC, will look to bring his agility and his field awareness to Arsenal, as the club is looking to stay atop of Premier League with a 16-2-1 record on the young season. His defensive awareness and his play making ability make him a key player to have on the pitch in tight games. He will look to be a factor on a team that has been dominate already this season, but by adding him, Arsenal has become a more dangerous team to go against, as he joins a midfield group that consist of Martin Ødegaard, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, and more.

Chelsea FC has made it clear that things need to change, as the club currently sits 10th in the Premier League tables with a 8-5-6 record and are looking to get back on track.

Chelsea needs to find ways to win and by making more moves in the transfer window, they will get this season back on track.

We will see what he brings for to the table of a team that is already atop of the Premier League this young season.
