In a strategic move, Arsenal is reportedly gearing up for discussions to present an improved contract to midfielder Jorginho.
While the midfielder’s existing contract is set to expire in the summer, Arsenal holds the option to extend it under the current terms.
However, recent reports suggest that the Gunners are inclined to go beyond a routine extension and are prepared to offer Jorginho an upgraded package, showcasing their appreciation for his contributions.
Midfield Maestro’s Impact and Strong Season Performance
Jorginho, who joined Arsenal in January 2023, has made a significant impact since his arrival.
His performance this season has been particularly noteworthy, and he has formed a cohesive partnership with fellow midfielder Declan Rice, who joined the club in the summer.
A standout moment in his recent performances was in the 4-1 victory over Newcastle, where he displayed skillful play by delivering a precise chip to Gabriel Martinelli, ultimately assisting Kai Havertz for the second goal.
Redemption from Early Season Struggles
The recent successes mark a stark improvement from Jorginho’s earlier struggles in the season.
During that period, he faced criticism from his own supporters, who labeled him a ‘total liability’ and a ‘pensioner’ after a crucial ball loss to James Maddison of Tottenham.
The subsequent play resulted in a goal for Son Heung-min in a 2-2 draw, impacting the title and top-four race.
Jorginho’s resilience and experience, including his Champions League win with Chelsea in 2020/21, have become valuable assets for Arsenal’s young squad.
Reflecting on Title Ambitions and Team Focus
Having joined Arsenal last year, Jorginho played a pivotal role in their pursuit of the Premier League crown, albeit falling short.
In a recent statement, he emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and taking each game seriously to sustain momentum in the title race.
Jorginho urged the team to stay grounded, highlighting the need for a game-by-game approach to remain competitive and achieve success in the ongoing season.
