Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella found out in the middle of an interview that Jorginho is joining Arsenal, and his reaction is pretty funny.
The Gunners went into transfer deadline day looking for a new midfielder. Most of us hoped it would be Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, but it looks like Jorginho will be the one.
Cucurella was a tad bit surprised to find that out.
Cucurella’s surprise reaction after finding out Jorginho is joining Arsenal
Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier today that Arsenal and Chelsea had reached an agreement for the transfer of Jorginho for a fee of £12 million.
The Italian is on the verge of being announced as a new Gunners player, with leaked photos of him wearing the famous red and white going viral on social media already.
It’s almost certain now that Jorginho will be a new Arsenal player, but it looks like the Italian forgot to say goodbye to his Chelsea teammates, especially Cucurella.
The Spanish full-back had absolutely no idea that Jorginho had left Chelsea and joined Arsenal. His reaction after finding out made us laugh.
Watch it below!
The Insider’s View:
We understand all the moans and groans about Arsenal signing Jorginho.
Yes, he’s not an exciting young talent like Caicedo, but there really is a lot to like about the Italian if you just take a step back and look at things with some perspective,
Arsenal’s first-choice midfield pairing is Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey – that was not going to change irrespective of who came in, and that will not change with Jorginho available at Arteta’s disposal now.
Is having a Champions League, Europa League and European champion available as a backup really a bad thing? We don’t think so!
