Jorginho finds new club after Arsenal release and is set to play at the Club World Cup
Jorginho is set to feature at the Club World Cup this month after signing with a new club following his release by Arsenal. The 33-year-old was one of multiple first-team departures on Arsenal's retained list, with the likes of Kieran Tierney and Neto also listed.

I spent years away from my origins, but this game, which took me to distant destinations, also brought me back. 'And today, such a special day, I feel happy and motivated, with the will of a boy full of dreams and one certainty: the best is yet to come. 'I am grateful for the opportunity and I am very excited to wear the jersey and play in a packed Maraca.' The club, managed by former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid full-back Filipe Luis, currently sit top of the Brasileiro Serie A with just one defeat from their opening 11 games.
