Jorginho‘s mum was overcome with emotion when she saw her son‘s shirt hanging up in the Emirates Stadium dressing room during a visit, following his surprise transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal for £12million in the January window. The Italian maestro has been settling into life at the North London club under Mikel Arteta, and his mum‘s reaction indicates she is content with the move.
Fernanda, Jorginho‘s mum, is seen in footage posted on Instagram walking inside the Arsenal changing room and, upon spotting her son‘s number 20 shirt on the far side, is shown holding it before pointing it out to the camera. The camera then pans to show Fernanda trying to fight back tears.
After Fernanda had wiped away her tears and taken in the rest of her surroundings, Jorginho reposted the emotional footage to his Instagram page, with the whole family evidently proud of her transfer to the league leaders.
Since joining Arsenal, the 31–year–old has made five appearances, with a memorable contribution in the 4–2 win over Aston Villa in which her thunderous shot struck the crossbar and deflected off Emi Martinez into the net.
Arsenal, with 12 games remaining in the season and still in the Europa League round of 16, are currently five points ahead of Manchester City in second place. For fans of the Gunners, Jorginho‘s success from his 213 games at Chelsea – including winning both the Champions League and Europa League – will be rewarded should he help the club win its first league title since 2004.
