'He is one of the best' - Mikel Arteta lauds Jorginho after midfielder snubs Serie A to sign new Arsenal deal

Champions League

The Arsenal head coach has given a glowing review to former Chelsea man Jorginho <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jorginho-explains-decision-sign-new-arsenal-contract-snub-return-serie-a/blt868daa8bdbee19ea" target="_blank">days after he signed a contract extension at the club.</a> Arteta's midfield general reportedly turned down a move back to Serie A this summer to remain in North London and is hoping to cap off a positive campaign with the Premier League title.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to club media, the Spaniard said: "He’s someone who makes everybody better - that’s his main quality. He’s still hungry, he wants to win, he wants to win with us, he's happy here and his family is happy here, so for us it was a really easy decision. "He is a very important player for all the coaches because his game understanding and the way he communicates and coaches people is excellent. When he needs to be at it and serious and drive people with him he does it, and when it needs fun and a relaxing atmosphere, he is one of the best. It's a good combination."

WHAT MIKEL ARTETA SAID

It takes something special to give Manchester City a run for their money but Arteta has assembled a squad capable of challenging for the top honours and Jorginho has been a huge part of that. The Champions League winner has made 23 Premier League appearances this term and has patrolled the pitch to perfection, helping the Gunners maintain the best defensive record in the league.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Jorginho will be hoping to turn a good week into a great one when Arsenal travel to Manchester United for their penultimate game of the season. A win will keep them on top of the table until City play their game in hand against Tottenham on Tuesday night.
