“He joined Chelsea’s direct rival” – Thiago Silva speaks on Jorginho’s move to Arsenal
Thiago Silva, a defender for Chelsea, expressed regret at Jorginho’s decision to join Arsenal.
On Transfer Deadline Day, Jorginho signed a £ 12 million contract with the Premier League’s top team.
The Italian midfielder has joined “a direct adversary,” but Silva praised him as one of the “great leaders” in the Stamford Bridge locker room.
“We have lost one of our great leaders in the locker room, Jorginho, a guy who spoke a lot. This gap will remain, but we must move on,” he stated. We weren’t prepared for him to leave, but it did. It’s now time to do everything in our power to make up for his absence.
“(Jorginho) departed for a straight foe and adversary. Things in football do happen. His family is close, thus he would like to remain in England. We must also comprehend the viewpoint of the gamer because these are circumstances over which we have no control.
