Arsenal fans have applauded Jorginho for his display in Saturday's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Jorginho replaced Declan Rice in the second half and quickly made an impact with his composure, vision and passing ability.
While these traits have always been a part of the Italian's game, Gooners are beginning to recognise and appreciate him.
🗣️Eduardo Hagn: "Before he came to Arsenal, I must admit I didn’t know why Jorginho was so highly rated. Now, I’ve seen why. He reminds of the old version of Tom Brady. He has deficiencies in athleticism but his passing is on the highest tier I’ve seen. A quarterback. Great player and pro. 🇮🇹"
🗣️AfcRO: "There is a reason why Pep and Tuchel wanted him as the centre of their project. One of the greats on the ball. Played Kroos and Modric off the park at the Bernabeu".
🗣️Fortune: "I rate him so highly as well There’s a pep wanted him".
🗣️Oblokoto: "He's always been underrated".
🗣️CrusoeNG: "Man did everything Rice should have done today, forward passes mate!"
🗣️DanR&D: "He's always been good. You don't go from being a Ballon d'or nominee to crap in a year or so. It's just because he played for Chelsea that he doesn't get his flowers".
Jorginho is among the leaders in the dressing room and the club's third skipper after Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus.
Should Rice fail to recover in time for the clash against Nottingham Forest in nine days, the Italian will likely be handed a start.
