Gary Neville compared Jorginho to Man United legend Paul Scholes.
Arsenal midfielder Jorginho will still get game time at the Emirates next season, says journalist Dean Jones. He will remain part of Mikel Arteta’s plan.
The 31-year-old really impressed in Arsenal’s last away win against Newcastle United, with Gary Neville comparing him to Man United legend Paul Scholes.
“I say Paul Scholes is the best I’ve ever played with, and there was an example of what he used to do out on the pitch at Newcastle,” Neville said on Sky Sports.
“In the most difficult atmospheres, in the most tense part of the season, against the most tenacious opposition, when it’s the most difficult and everyone else wants to lump it up the pitch, who’s going to get on the ball, take it when it’s tight, poke it through midfield, get yourself into an attacking shape so that you can actually set off your attacking patterns, and do that religiously and repetitively through those kind of games?
“At Manchester United, that man was Paul Scholes. He did it for 15 years. What we saw from Jorginho at Newcastle was a class performance, a real class performance.”
As per the Telegraph, the Gunners are interested in Declan Rice, Moisés Caicedo and Jorginho’s former Chelsea team-mate Mason Mount.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the transfer insider said: “He’ll still get games, for sure. I mean, you’ve got to have that level of competition. If you look across Europe at the teams that you want to be competing with that are actually winning league titles, they don’t usually have a set midfield combination.”
