Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has admitted that he was interested in having talks with Arsenal this summer.
Jorginho had been linked to Arsenal this summer transfer window and has been a top target for Mikel Arteta before they ending up signing Thomas Partey.
“I believe that every player is open to negotiations. So I believe there was something they talked about. And in the end it was decided that I remain here,” said Jorginho.
“Now my head is here and we’re going to do a great job with Chelsea, which I always wanted to do.”
“The players who arrived have great potential and can certainly help this club a lot […] When there’s this high competition among the players, it turns out that the level of the team goes up, and when the level of the team goes up, the team ends up becoming better and even more competitive to reach the top. So I believe that the arrival of these great players only brings good things and will certainly help the group and the club.
“It’s normal that you need time. How long did Liverpool work to win something? So I believe that every change, every beginning of a project, we need to believe in the project for it to bear fruit and bring results. So it’s normal that you need this working time,” the Chelsea midfielder added.
