are you taking it?" There you go Gunners fans. He is 31-years-old and in the final six months of his contract and seems to be coming in to help Arsenal over the line in the Prem title race. "He is one of the best players in the league in my opinion."

Jorginho is not an identical player, but he is more than capable of anchoring the midfield, absorbing pressure, and progressing the ball. He isn’t a long-term signing, but he doesn’t need to be. The other upside is the price. Signing a 1.5 year deal with 1 year option, the longtime Blue will be brought into the side to help Arsenal over the line in their quest to secure their first Premier League title in 19 years. And it is also far from the meme-worthy signings of players like Willian and David Luiz (who wasn’t awful for us, btw).

[Raheem Sterling](https://theathletic.com/football/player/raheem-sterling-k4BPKfn0pvnrTLX4/)’s record is only 50-50 from eight attempts. Midfield was quickly identified as an area in need of a refresh and the hope will be that Fernandez, if he can be secured from Benfica, will add more speed and creativity. Given he is not arriving as a first-choice player in waiting, it feels likelier that Saka keeps his place as Arsenal’s penalty-taker-elect — the 21-year-old has scored all three of the penalties he has taken for the club. Arsenal, [rebuffed in their attempts to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion](https://theathletic.com/4136296/2023/01/29/brighton-arsenal-moises-caicedo-bid/), have secured his services through to the summer of 2024. Simon Johnson: First and foremost, Jorginho will always be respected — deservedly so — for his performances which helped Chelsea win the Champions League in 2021. Albert Sambi Lokonga has not been convincing as Thomas Partey’s deputy this season — he may depart on loan to Crystal Palace — and, without adding to their options, [Arsenal ran the risk of their midfield crumbling](https://theathletic.com/4124318/2023/01/25/arsenal-transfers-arteta-elneny/) should the Ghanaian be ruled out for any protracted length of time, as he was towards the end of last term. That came just a month after the Spaniard’s switch from head coach to manager, when his all-round influence on the club was solidified. The Italy international is 31 and is much more of a distributor in midfield as opposed to somebody who can distribute and break up play effectively. That may sound bland, it might not necessarily excite Arsenal fans, but given their push for the title, that experience and authority in central areas could prove to be crucial.
