Arsenal made the move to sign Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on transfer deadline day.
Sterling was one of 14 players axed from the Chelsea first-team, as new boss Enzo Maresca didn’t need the 29-year-old.
Sterling has joined Arsenal on a season-long loan deal, with Chelsea still paying over 50 percent of his wages.
Jorginho knows Sterling from his time at Chelsea, and when asked on Arsenal’s loan deal for Sterling, Jorginho told the Seaman Says podcast: “You know the club, especially Mikel and Edu, you know who they are bringing is just right so something good is going to happen for sure.
“When you see there is a player that you know, you played together and you know the qualities already, you know how they can help more.
“You feel like, ‘Okay, I know how to give him the ball already’, so you are already ahead.
“You don’t need to get to know him. It’s different.”
Jorginho is confident Raheem Sterling will be a good signing for Arsenal.
Asked whether he spoke with Sterling before the deal, Jorginho replied: “No.
“I’m honestly not there looking at the news and stuff like that because it’s mad. There is even too much information and sometimes it’s not even true!
‘It was the day of the [Brighton] game so I woke up and I was like, ‘What?!’, and then we found out that he was coming.”
“He’s going to be great for us with his qualities, he’s won a lot already and he can add a lot to the team,” the Italy midfielder added.
“I think it was a good signing and as I said, I think he’s going to add a lot to the team, honestly.”
