In terms of play style, we have even more good news. Jorginho is a solid defender. He averages the typical two interceptions and two tackles per game. But it is in his passing that Jorginho makes himself known. The Brazilian boasts a 90% pass completion, three assists and 1.5 key passes per game.

Plus, Jorginho is only 23 years of age. Combining his defensive steadfastness and his passing ability would give Arsenal a viable option at the base of the midfield. Not only that, but he is not such a world-beater that he would feel entitled to a first team role right off the bat.

Finally, our top transfer option. He also happens to be one of the newest options. Have a look.
