Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has signed a one-year contract extension with the Premier League club.

The 32-year-old signed an initial 18-month deal with the Gunners when he joined from Chelsea in January 2023.

The Brazil-born Italy international has made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring once.

"I’m really, really happy to stay, because it’s a privilege to be a part of this family," said Jorginho.

The midfielder, who spent four-and-a-half years at Chelsea before moving to Arsenal, says the club are in a "special moment" under Mikel Arteta.

"Jorgi is such an important part of our team, a role model with great leadership skills and a unique playing style ability which makes everybody better around him on the pitch," said Arteta.
