The first photo of Jorginho in an Arsenal shirt has been leaked on his agent’s Instagram account.
The Italian was the subject of a deadline day switch from Chelsea to London rivals Arsenal on a £12million deal, with Gunners fans getting a first look of their new man in a leaked photo.
The former Blues vice-captain’s move to the north London side has been controversial, with some fans disappointed that their side missed out on Moises Caicedo, while pundits claim that the move can only prove a boost to Arsenal.

Jorginho was pictured in his new colours alongside his agent, Joao Santos, with the image later being leaked on a deadline day that has seen his switch become one of the stories of the window.
The Brazilian-born midfielder was signed to bolster his new club’s midfield, with Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey proving a fruitful partnership in the club’s unexpected title challenge this term.
Although the pair have remained largely injury free this season, a knee problem has seen back-up option Mohamed Elneny sidelined for the foreseeable future.

The Ghanaian midfielder also picked up a rib injury in the 1-0 loss to Manchester City, and was duly substituted at half-time, but he is expected to be available for selection in Saturday’s Everton clash.
Jorginho had six months left on his deal at Chelsea, but the Gunners were keen to bring him to the Emirates now, rather than wait until the summer with few options at the club.
Arsenal had several bids rejected for Brighton’s in-demand Ecuador midfielder Caicedo, before proceeding to move for the Italian on a deal that will keep him at the club until summer 2024.
