Carragher: Jorginho is not an Arsenal player

Jamie Carragher believes new boy Jorginho is NOT an Arsenal-type player – but could be an important ‘cool head’ towards the end of the season.

Jorginho could initially be the cover for Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka.

Ex-Liverpool and England defender Carragher told Sky Sports: “He’s not the style for Arsenal’s game, which is so fast, quick and energetic now and he’s the opposite of that.

“But I also think that with maybe 10 games left in the season when they actually need a cool head, when there’s a pressure moment and the nerves get high in that title run, he could actually be a really good signing to keep things cool too.” decelerate.

“He’s a player who won the Champions League, he’s won a European Championship in recent years, so he’s a top player, there’s no doubt about that, but he’s a different type of player.

“But I’m not saying that’s the case for Arsenal week in and week out, but I think it could be a big help for them towards the end of the season when they get nervous.”
