May 11, Arsenal captain Jorginho said in an interview with ESPN that he believes manager Arteta will coach at Arsenal for a longer period of time and expressed optimism about the team's current situation. In the interview, Jorginho said: "I think Arteta feels good here, I don't think he will leave. It's also important for the club to keep him. Arteta and Edu and the whole board, they have created something special and I don't believe he will leave." Speaking about his career, Jorginho said, "If they ask me to start another chapter of five, six or seven years, then I'm happy to accept it.
I feel young and in good shape and I want to play as many games as I can. But seriously, I don't know where and when I will end my career, I just want to enjoy the game as much as I can because I love playing soccer. What you've done is amazing, but it's in the past and people forget that very quickly and you need to go out and prove yourself to them every day." In addition, Jorginho praised young player Havertz: "I know Havertz will be a success here because I know him very well. I had a conversation with him and I told him to stay calm, ignore the outside voices and just do well. I am happy for what he has achieved, he is a very good player and he deserves all this applause."
