Jamie Carragher claims that Jorginho could become an important signing for Arsenal, with the Italian set for a deadline day switch from rivals Chelsea.
Concerns had been levelled at the 31-year-old's playing style not fitting the system that has propelled Arsenal to the top of the table, but Carragher insisted his importance lies in his trophy-winning expertise.
Jorginho's move to the Gunners is one of the key stories of a frantic deadline day, and with a £12million fee agreed between the two teams he looks set to bolster Mikel Arteta's midfield.

After having several bids for Moises Caicedo rejected by Brighton earlier this month, Jorginho emerged as something of a surprise option, with Arsenal keen to bring in quality back-up to Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.
'They needed to bring someone in and they've gone for Caicedo, but they can't get that done,' Carragher said. 'Jorginho is an interesting one, and I was listening to people talk about to today, saying he's not the style of Arsenal, it's so quick and energetic, and he's the opposite of that.
'And I get that argument, but when it comes to ten games left in the season, when they might actually need cool heads and there's a pressure moment in the Premier League run-in, he might actually be a good signing, in terms of slowing things down and cooling heads.
