Jorginho delighted signing new deal with Arsenal: Now for the Prem!

Jorginho is delighted signing a new deal with Arsenal.

The midfielder admits he still has much to achieve with the Gunners after committing for another 12 months.

“I'm really happy to stay, because it's a privilege to be a part of this family," he told the club's website. "My family is happy, we are really well settled and there's more to come!"

“There was not much to discuss to be honest, because I feel really good here. Just to know that they appreciate me and want me to stay longer as well, it's a big thing for me. I feel that I have more to do, so that's the reason why I'm staying."

On his relationship with the Gunners support, Jorginho said: “That means a lot. And that's one more reason for signing the contract because I feel I can – and I want to – give more to them, because they've been giving a lot of affection and support to me. All I want is to give it back.

“I try to give everything I can of myself to everyone around. Sometimes that can be a cuddle, sometimes it can be words, sometimes show them something. I just try to help as much as I can in any situation. I feel that everyone here can count on me. I will always be there for them."

Jorginho admits he is now desperate to achieve a first league winner's medal.

“That's missing!" he said. “It's something that definitely I would like to add to that list and it would mean a lot to me.

“I want to win as much as I can, and enjoy the moment because that's really important for me. If you are somewhere where you are not enjoying it, or you are not happy, then it's difficult. So moving forward is trying to be happy and achieve as much as we can."
