While Arsenal are looking to win a trophy of their own, former star Jorginho is eyeing up his own piece of silverware this season.
The midfielder was a key part of Mikel Arteta’s squad for the past few seasons, playing the role of an experienced team player.
While he wasn’t always on the pitch, Jorginho could be seen coaching from the sidelines and helping those coming through the ranks.
His spell at Arsenal came to an end in the summer, with Jorginho joining Flamengo in Brazil on a free transfer.
After making the move, the league title is in sight, and the midfielder’s new club may have annoyed Neymar Jr on the way to potentially winning it.
Jorginho’s Flamengo leaves Neymar Jr facing relegation with Santos
Jorginho has enjoyed a successful start to life at Flamengo, with 14 league appearances to his name so far.
Injury has recently struck him, however, leaving the former Arsenal star watching on and hoping his side can edge that little bit closer to winning the title.
There have been mixed results in his matches out so far, with a win over Sport Recife followed by a draw against Sao Paulo.
Heading into the clash with Santos, Flamengo faced off with Neymar Jr, who returned to where it all started.
It hasn’t been quite the dream reunion for him, however, as his club now sit in the bottom four and face the real threat of relegation unless they can pick up some wins in their final few matches.
Flamengo’s 3-2 win over Santos will have left Neymar fuming over how the situation has played out, while the home side booed him off when substituted.
That nightmare for the Brazilian is playing into the dream of Jorginho, who could now be close to winning the title.
Jorginho and Flamengo in close title race for the Brazilian Serie A
Arsenal’s Premier League title race still has some way to go before a winner can be declared, but that isn’t the same for Jorginho.
The midfielder and his Flamengo side are just a few games from realising whether they have won the Brazilian Serie A title or not.
They are currently second in the league, level on points with Palmeiras, who lead the way but recently fell to defeat at the hands of Mirassol.
It leaves the race wide open, creating a tense final few weeks of the season left to go.
If it all goes his way, then Jorginho’s move to Flamengo will have helped land yet another piece of silverware to his impressive collection.
