Arsenal face a tough decision. Last season's January signing Jorginho is running out of contract at the end of the season. After signing from Chelsea for one and a half years, his time at the Emirates Stadium could be coming to an end, unless Edu Gaspar sits him down for contract talks and meets his demands.

Pain in the Arsenal revealed last month that a return to Italy could be on the cards for Jorginho. Since then, though, he has hit his best form since joining Arsenal, which is surely giving Mikel Arteta second thoughts.

3 winners and 1 loser from Arsenal keeping Jorginho

Here are 3 winners and 1 loser from Arsenal keeping Jorginho...

1. Kai Havertz (winner)

There's no denying that Jorginho would have been a helpful familiar face when Kai Havertz signed for Arsenal in the summer transfer window. Having only signed half a season prior, Jorginho would know everything there is to know about moving from Chelsea to Arsenal.

Havertz and Jorginho have a great relationship on and off the pitch, so keeping Jorginho would be a great relief for Kai Havertz.

2. Thomas Partey (loser)

As things stand, Jorginho is creeping above Thomas Partey in the hierarchy. Either way, there is not enough room for both of them in the squad, since one of them will be missing out on first-team football. If Jorginho stays at Arsenal, then it will likely be Thomas Partey who is sold in the summer.
