Arsenal midfielder Jorginho: Why James better than Alexander-Arnold

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho made a shock comment regarding one of his favorite Premier League players.

The Italian was asked to pick some of the top performers in every position in the English top flight.

Jorginho's admission, which will surprise Arsenal fans, was to talk up Chelsea right-back Reece James.

“Actually, I'll put Reece James in there. Believe me," he told JD Sports, speaking at a Puma launch.

When asked why he chose James over Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jorginho replied: “They're a bit different but if I'm choosing for my team, I'd choose Reece.

“I think he's more complete at everything, but Trent's passing and shooting are unbelievable. They're different but overall I choose Reece."
