Former Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has spoken out about his decision to leave the Premier League club, citing a ‘joyless’ experience under manager Mikel Arteta. According to GiveMeSport, Jorginho played 79 games for Arsenal before making the move to Liverpool.
Jorginho’s comments come as a surprise given his relatively short stint at Liverpool, where he has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter. The Italian midfielder has played for several top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, and has won numerous titles throughout his career.
Background
Jorginho joined Arsenal in 2023, signing a three-year contract with the club. However, he struggled to find his footing under Arteta’s management, playing only 79 games for the Gunners. The midfielder has since moved to Liverpool, where he has been used sparingly by manager Jürgen Klopp.
Reaction
Arteta’s management style has come under scrutiny in recent months, with several players expressing dissatisfaction with the team’s playing style and tactics. Jorginho’s comments are the latest in a string of criticisms aimed at the Arsenal manager.
Despite his struggles at Liverpool, Jorginho remains a highly skilled midfielder with a wealth of experience at the highest level. His departure from Arsenal has sparked speculation about the club’s future under Arteta’s management.
