Even more importantly, Arteta had sought the Italian midfielder for nearly a decade, from 2014 to 2018, while he was a member of Napoli.”The first time he tried signing me was when he was at City and I was in Naples,” Jorginho recalls, adding that Arteta made two more attempts when he was here, but neither one was successful.

Now, thankfully, it came to pass. I am grateful for the chance to collaborate with him and am enjoying my time here.Regarding contracts, Arteta’s still has a year remaining. According to Jorginho, Arteta is expected to pledge his future to the north London club by the Spaniard, who has completely transformed the club. Last season, Arsenal came so near to winning the league title for the first time since 2004.

“I think he could stay for much longer,” he remarks.

He seems content here, and I really doubt he’ll go. The club would be remiss if he left; between him, Edu, the board, and the entire club, they accomplished something truly remarkable. In my opinion, he isn’t interested in going either.

Jorginho has before cautioned about Kai Havertz’s potential; the German had a rough start to the season. Havertz has improved since then, and he has contributed to the Premier League with 12 goals and 6 assists so far this year.

This is because he knows Kai, thus he knew all along, he says.

Yes, that is also a component of the game. Keep your cool, let them talk, and do your work as you normally would; I also spoke with him about this. You will overcome this challenge even more successfully if you put in the effort.
