Jorginho was excellent off the Arsenal bench against Palace, featuring in the last 18 minutes. When he came on, the game had opened up, and he took advantage of it. There was space behind the Palace defenders for him to hit “those passes,” which he did. His through ball over the Crystal Palace defence found Gabriel Martinelli, who tucked home his second goal of the game and helped Arsenal to a 5-0 victory.

I guess such performances by the Italian midfielder demonstrate that he still has a role to play in the current Arsenal team. But the question is, does he believe he plays a significant role? The most recent reports about him suggest that he does not believe so.
According to Sercan Dikne of the Turkish publication Sports Digitale, Jorginho may be looking to leave in January. The Turkish journalist reports that the Arsenal midfielder’s agent has recommended him to Besiktas for the winter transfer window. He goes on to state that the Turkish club is open to the move and may be enticed to try to work out a deal with Arsenal.

TRANSLATION: Jorginho, who had difficulty finding time in Arsenal and wanted to go to a team where he could play, was recommended to Beşiktaş by the managers. Beşiktaş’s opinions about Jorginho are positive. First contact has been made.
Mikel Arteta has not used Jorginho as much in recent weeks. Even though some have suggested that he, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard might form Arsenal’s strongest midfield with Thomas Partey out, Arteta has thought otherwise.
I’m not sure whether the claims he’s been offered to Besiktas are true, but with his desire to make the Italy Euros squad, I suppose he wants to play more and believes he won’t be able to do so at Arsenal.
Surely Arsenal need all our midfielders until the end of the season?

He’s good against midtable midfielder and midfielders without pace and power. We don’t need him. Should leave at the end of the season
Whatever may be the reports in the Turkish media reporting that Jorginho wants regular playing footbal. So that he could have a chance to be included in the Italy squad for the next European Championship tournament.
But which implies that Arsenal should bow be playing him regularly in matches. Or transfer him from the club this window which could give him the chance to achieve what he’s after to achieved.
But I think Jorginho knows that he is an important back up player for Arsenal for options and to provide cover.
And as such Arsenal will not agree to sell him this window. Unless they sign a new Dmf to replace him if he leaves. But the new Dmf signing by Arsenal this window that is not in the offing to happen
And for this reason, Jorginho SHOULD calm down and continues to respect his contract at Arsenal till next summer window when it’ll expire.
Not good enough for us, hes lost his legs. Sell!!!!!!!!
